8-Bit Felt Christmas Ornaments

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.
