Gingerbread man

Materials
A piece of sandpaper
A used brown paper bag
Thread
Large handful of dryer lint
String
Scraps of used ribbon
Mismatched buttons
Scrap of old fabric
 
Instructions
1. Using sandpaper, lightly sand the surface of the paper bag until it has a soft, felt-like texture.
2. Cut two identical gingerbread man shapes out of the paper. Sew together with thread, using large stitches, â…› inch away from the edge, stuffing the dryer lint into the arms and legs as you go.
3. Once you have fully stuffed and sewn up the gingerbread man, make a hole at the top of the ornament and thread a piece of string or ribbon through. Knot at the top to form a hanging loop.
4. Glue the buttons down the front of the ornament and draw a face with a pen. Cut a thin strip of fabric from the scrap to tie on as a scarf.
