Felt Soda Bottle Ornament

     Are you or one of your loved ones as much of a soda fiend as I am?  These felt soda bottle ornaments make a great gift or addition to your tree and are inexpensive, customizable, and relatively easy to make.

Materials:
*Felt in the colors you'd like your soda bottle and label to be
*Needle and thread
*All purpose adhesive
*Sequins or other embellishments (optional)
*Metallic markers or chalk
*Stuffing

Directions:
*Resize the below template to the desired size and print.

*Trace two copies of the soda bottle onto the felt in the color that you would like your soda bottle to be and one copy of the label onto the color of felt you would like the label to be.  Cut out the bottle and label shapes.

I forgot to take a pic of the shapes before I decorated the label, so that's why it's already decorated in this pic.

*Decorate the label as you see fit.  I haven't done much embroidery before, but figured now was as good a time as any to try my hand at it.  I didn't appropriate adequate space for everything I wanted, as you can see, so some of the lettering/designs ended up getting squished together, as you can see.  If embroidery seems intimidating, but you'd like to add letters to your label, fabric paint could be a good alternative.

*Glue the label onto one of the bottle shapes.

*Place the two bottle shapes together, label side facing out, and stitch together using the blanket stitch.  Leave an opening at the bottom for adding stuffing.

*Add stuffing and sew closed.

*Tie some thread to the top of the bottle to create a loop for hanging up your ornament.
