These Cricut felt ornaments are very easy to make with your Cricut machine. Make them with your kids, give them away as gifts or use them as gift tags! All you really need is your Cricut and felt!
I do have an extra step here which is lining the back of the felt with Heat n Bond. This is used to adhere fabric to fabric with an iron. However, even though we are not putting two fabrics together, I read that you should have some type of backing on your felt material if you are cutting it. The reason being is that the felt will leave your mat fuzzy if you lay it directly on the mat. The Heat n Bond allows you to lay the felt on a paper backing before you cut it.

- Place the felt with the adhesive paper on top of the mat and load the mat into the machine.
- Cut the felt then remove it from the mat.
