Kid’s Craft Project – Felt Ice Skates Holiday Ornaments

Last weekend we started our annual holiday ornament making and this particular craft project is one that we did with all of the younger children in the family. In less than one hour, each child can whip up several of these ice skate ornaments that are made out of crafting felt and a few other supplies. Here is how we made them.

Directions: We had the kids draw out an ice skate shape onto plain paper and cut it out with scissors. Fold a sheet of craft felt in half and place the paper pattern onto the fold with the bottom of the skate right on the fold line. Have kids cut out the shape from the craft felt.

Unfold the ice skate and place the large silver paper clip through the fold so that it forms the ice skate blade (see photo). Have the kids use liquid glue or Elmer’s glue to glue the left side, right side and the top of the ice skate together to seal all edges. Just a thin line of glue or a few drops will do, it doesn’t take much!

Punch a hole into the ice skate using a hole puncher so that the kids can thread through some yarn to form the ice skate laces and tie the yarn into a bow.

These little felt ice skates can be hung onto a Christmas tree, off of a wreath or let the kids use them as package toppers.

Quick, Easy and Inexpensive craft project that helps the kids get excited for the upcoming holidays!
