Now let’s jump into the steps of making this cute little “Boo” ghost ornament.

How to make a Felt Ghost ornament.

Here we’ll show you step-by-step how to make your own cute Halloween felt ghost ornament.

We include a free printable ghost pattern that can be printed and used again and again.

If you plan on making several ghosts, I suggest going through the steps fully once, then batch-creating your ghosts by doing several copies of each step.

Step One: Grab the Felt ghost Pattern.

First, download the felt ghost pattern we provided below and print it.

It’s a template that includes the base of the ghost along with its mouth, and triangle flag garland.

Once it’s downloaded, print and cut out all of the pattern pieces.

Next, trace the pattern, the body on white felt, the mouth on black felt, and flags on orange felt.

Then cut all of your traced pattern pieces from the felts.

Now you will get pieces like below.

Step Two: Create the Ghost Face.

Now grab black beads and stitch them into the top of the ghost’s head pattern.

Use black thread and a needle to do this step. We use black thread for black beads for a seamless finish. You can use googly eyes if you like.

After attaching the eyes, you can attach the mouth. Cut the mouthpiece on black felt and sew it on the ghost’s face, under the eyes that we previously added.

Step Three: Create the "Boo" Garland.

Now that we finished sewing the front part of our cute little ghost, we can start to sew the “Boo” garland.

As we used orange felt to cut flags for garland, you can use any color you like.

To make the stitching easier, we can write the “Boo” word using a pencil.

Use black thread to sew the “Boo” letters.

Step Four: Attach the Flags as a Garland.

Using a black thread, we can attach separate triangle flags into one garland as shown below.

Step Five: Create the Ghost's Body.

Grab the two white felt body pieces and keep them together to sew. Start to sew both pieces together.

I used a blanket stitch to sew the pieces together. It’s more durable for the ornament.

This is how it looked when halfway sewed the ghost.

Be sure to keep a small opening on one side of the body while stitching it.

Next, you can use cotton or the leftover scrap pieces of felt to stuff the ghost. I used cotton to stuff.

Step Six: Attach the "Boo" Garland into the Ghost Body.

This can be a little bit tricky to add the garland on the ghost’s hands.

we have to add the garland on its hands like he is holding the garland.

You can just glue the garland ends onto the ghost’s hands or you can sew it.

Finally, add a cute ribbon loop to the backside of your felt ghost so you can hang it on your wall.

I forgot to add a ribbon loop, but I love the way it turned out.

And voila! You’ve got a finished felt ghost ornament ready to hang or give as a handmade gift this Halloween season.

He looks so cute, right?
