Sparkly Little Lamb Ornament with Instructions and Pattern

I found this wonderful lamb pattern through http://makinglearningfun.com/

and decided to make some little Christmas ornaments. I added a few touches of my own and I thought it came out really cute! The owner of the site (Jo Kramer) very generously gave me permission to post a link to her pattern. Thank you, Jo!

To find the pattern, go to the website address above and click on the tab that says, "Themes." Then, click on the word "Mammals" and then on "Lambs."

Click on "Mary Had a Little Lamb Felt Board." You will see a picture of the lambs. Look below the picture and click on "Sheep Pattern." I right clicked and saved the pattern to my computer, then reduced it by 50%.

Instructions for Lamb:

1. Trace legs and face onto stiff, black felt with a regular pencil. Yes, you can see regular pencil on the black felt at an angle. Secondly, trace TWO sheep wool bodies (one for the front and one for the back) and the sheep's hair onto stiff, white felt. Cut out all pieces.

2. Spread Aileen's Tacky Glue (with a sponge brush) over the tops of the white felt sheep wool bodies and the sheep's hair. Elmer's Craft Bond Glue in the bottle will work just as well. Generously sprinkle Martha Stewart's Ultra Fine Glitter in the color "Crystal" over the glue and allow to dry thoroughly. After drying, gently tap off any excess glitter.

4. Carefully trace around the two white felt sheep wool bodies and the sheep's hair with dimensional fabric paint (puffy paint) in the color "Shiny White." Allow to dry thoroughly.

5. Hot glue the two white felt sheep wool bodies onto the front and back of the black felt legs. That way, when you turn the sheep around, the back part of him will be covered. Secondly, hot glue the black felt sheep's head onto the top part of the body. Lastly, hot glue the sheep's hair on top of the black felt head. At this point, make two eyes with the dimensional fabric paint in the color "Shiny White."Allow to dry thoroughly.

6. Punch a tiny hole at the top of the sheep's hair. Thread gold ornament thread through the hole. Next, make a little red bow and hot glue over the hole. Lastly, it just seemed appropriate to give our little lamb a heart, so I hot glued a red flat-back rhinestone heart onto the corner of his body.
