I was asked to make a tutorial on how I make my felted Yule goat ornaments!
Optional is stuffing herbs crystals etc inside the goat for extra oomph!
Step 1: make you guide out of cardboard or sturdy paper.
Step 2: Lay on piece of doubled felt and cut along outline.
Step 3 tie a knot on end of embroidery floss and pull through one side right at the neck.
Step 4: not really a step, the side where the knot is will be the inside of the Yule goat to hide the knot.
Step 5: bring both side together and use a whip stitch to loop along the edges from the neck forward and all along there whole thing until just past the tail.
Step 6: leave enough room to put stuffing in the goat using a chopstick, wooden skewer etc.
Step 7: once it is full of stuffing, finish sewing up the back to your first knot and tie off a knot to keep it from unraveling.
Step 8: (optional) if you have enough excess, wrap the remaining floss around the neck until you have a just enough to tie a little bow. This wrapping helps hide your knots if they didn’t quite get finished correctly.
Cut off excess and decorate your knew body with ribbon trim etc
