Stuffed Candy Cane Ornament

November 20, 2014 By Linda 4 Comments

 Shhh …

 

Don’t tell the other handmade Christmas ornaments, but this one might be my favorite.

Maybe it’s the fabric. Maybe it’s the cute little bows. Maybe it’s the stuffing …

 

… one thing I DO know, it’s not the easy-to-make factor.

 

Turning it from right sides together  to right side out once sewn proved challenging. And tested my patience.

 

But you know what they say, love doesn’t always come easy …

 

HOW TO MAKE STUFFED CANDY CANES

I started with a candy cane pattern I found here. I copied it into a Word document and then enlarged it so it fit within snuggly within the 8 1/2″ x 11″ borders.

Per the pattern’s instructions, I placed it on the edge of a fold in the fabric.

Then I cut it out, pinned right sides together …

and sewed along a 1/8″ seam, leaving an opening (per the pattern’s instructions).

Before tackling the turn from right sides together to right side out, I clipped along the corners first.

Then I used a combination of my fingers and the closed ends of my scissors to stuff stuffing inside.

I opted to just use the sewing machine to close the opening. If you want a cleaner line, you can always slip stitch it closed.

But a cute ribbon tied into a bow does wonders to hide your imperfections …

Yup. I think it may be true love.

    Linda,
    These are super cute. Totally worth the frustration of turning them right side out lol!

    Cute fabric and bows! Seriously cute. This would be a great project for little ones to teach them how to sew. I’m definitely going to do it. Thanks for the inspiration!
