ACTIVITY: Jesse Tree Ornament – Three Maji & Star of Bethlehem

May 20, 2013 by faithandfabric Leave a Comment

23rd Day of Advent: the Three Maji follow the Star of Bethlehem
Matthew 2:1-12

Return to the main Jesse Tree page.

WHAT YOU NEED:

  • felt in blue and yellow  (I recommend getting a variety pack)
  • embroidery floss in blue and yellow 
    (I recommend DMC variety pack)
  • embroidery needles
    (you’ll need ones with a large needle eye)
  • stuffing
  • scissors
  • tracing paper
    or freezer paper
    (optional if you want to print out my photos and make templates out of them)

HOW TO MAKE:

  • INSIDE STAR: on the yellow, draw out your star. TIP: I slightly rounded the sides of the star so they weren’t perfectly straight/sharp. 
  • OUTSIDE STAR: lay your yellow star down on the blue felt and trace a shape similar to but approximately 1/2″ larger. Cut out two pieces…one will be the back and one will be the front.
  • ATTACHING STARS: using blue floss, stitch the yellow star onto the blue. Then, attach the two blue stars together with the yellow floss. You can either do a straight stitch (like you did on the core) or a blanket. I really prefer the blanket stitch 🙂 I added a bit of stuffing to mine just before sewing it closed. It’s also up to you if you want to make the colors contrast or coordinate with the felt. 
  • …we will come back at the very end and attach the ribbon to the ornament for hanging.
