2. Cut the felt along the traced lines. You’ll need two identical pieces for the front and back of the bird.

3. Embroider the details. Using a simple running stitch, add a beak, wing patterns, and a tiny heart on the chest. If you prefer needle‑felting, gently rub the wool into the felt to create a raised texture.

4. Assemble the ornament. Align the two felt pieces, leaving a small opening at the top. Apply a thin line of glue around the edges, then press together. Once the glue sets, poke a tiny hole at the opening, insert a ribbon loop, and seal the gap with a dab of glue.
