Now that I have a new stocking to hang by the fireplace, I need some new ornaments to hang on my Christmas tree. And to continue with my theme of video game-related Christmas decor. I decided to go old school with some 8-bit felt Christmas ornaments. To keep it simple, I went with characters and shapes that would be easy to trace and cut-out. So they’re simple to make, and since they’re no-sew, you don’t have to drag out the sewing machine. They also make a great gift to give to a geeky friend. So if you’re looking for an easy DIY project and you’re a fan of old school games. then these 8-bit felt Christmas ornaments are for you.

8-Bit Felt Christmas Ornaments
What you’ll need
- craft felt
- ribbon or yarn
- hot glue gun and sticks or fabric glue
- scissors
- pins
- patten
Instructions
- Print out the pattern and cut out the pieces. Then pin the shapes onto craft felt and cut each shape out. You’ll be cutting two of each base shape for the front and back. Then traces the pieces on to your felt and pieces of the yarn or ribbon for hanging.
- Add a drop of hot glue to one side of one of the base shapes and place a small section of the looped ribbon. Next, add more glue and place the second base shape on top.
- Lastly, glue on eyes if necessary and they’re ready to be hung on your tree.
Notes
- Instead of pinning the shapes onto the craft felt. Trace the shapes onto freezer paper. Then place the shapes waxy side down and lightly iron the shapes onto the craft felt. And cut the shapes out.

Wonderful blog, it’s so unique and I love it!
Thank you, and thanks for stopping by.
Oh, these are neat! I have some felt that needs to be used up, so I think I will have to make some of these. Will have to make a Megaman as that’s my husband’s favorite old game.
Thank you, and me too, making these helped in the decluttering of my craft closet. Megaman is one of my favorites too.
Ahh this is such a cute and easy craft to do! I love that you thought of making it 8 bit, I would’ve never thought of that haha 🤣 they look so adorable. Thanks for the good idea Angela! 🥰
Thank you, I wanted to keep it simple and fun. Plus if you wanted to continue with the theme it would pair well with an 8-bit star on top of the tree.
Wow very cool idea. My other half would love this, he’s a huge gamer. This is so creative and I like how it’s super easy to do! Thanks for sharing Louise!
