Materials You'll Need:
- Free printable Baby Jesus template
- White or skin-toned felt
- Poly-fil stuffing

Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Gather Your Materials
Begin by downloading and printing the free Baby Jesus template. Cut out the template pieces and trace them onto felt.
2. Create the Baby Jesus Body
Lay the front and back body pieces on your workspace. Align the edges and hot glue them together, leaving a small opening at the bottom for stuffing.
3. Stuff and Seal the Ornament
Gently fill the ornament with poly-fil stuffing. Once it's adequately stuffed, hot glue the opening shut.
4. Paint the Crown of Thorns
With gold fabric paint, carefully paint a crown of thorns onto the ornament's head. Allow it to dry completely.
5. Embellish with Beads or Sequins (Optional)
Enhance the ornament with seed beads or sequins for a touch of sparkle. Use hot glue to attach them to the crown or any other desired area.
6. Trim the Holy Robe
Cut a piece of felt into a robe shape for Baby Jesus. Hot glue it around the ornament's neck, leaving the chest exposed. Trimming the robe with gold fabric paint adds a finishing touch.
