Lindor Felt Ornament

A simple craft to spruce up your tree.

Inspired by ornaments you’d find in a Swiss Christmas market, these DIY decorations are made with felt and natural wood. Both kids and adults will enjoy making this sweet (and easy) holiday craft.

Items

  • Cotton braiding cord or thin string
  • Scissors
  • Glue gun
  • Small ⅜-inch (1-cm) wooden beads
  • ⅞-inch (2-cm) felt pompoms (white and taupe)
  • Lindor Chocolate Truffles (we used Milk Chocolate and Peppermint Cookie)


Instructions

  1. Cut some cord (approximately 8 inches/20 cm long) and fold it in half.
  2. Tie a knot at the bottom of the cord, creating a loop. Cut off any excess.
  3. Place a dot of glue on the knot and adhere it to a wooden bead (where the hole is). Hold together for 20 to 30 seconds until dry to the touch – do this each time you glue different pieces  together.
  4. Place a dot of glue on the other side of the wooden bead and adhere it to a felt pompom.
  5. Place a dot of glue inside the tail of a Lindor Chocolate Truffle and adhere it to the felt pompom.
  6. Wait until the glue is completely dry before hanging the ornament on your tree.
