Sesame Street Christmas Ornaments
    If you know me at all, you know that Christmas just isn't Christmas unless I craft something to give each year.  Ornaments are a quick and easy go to and I love to create them because they are like a second gift to add to a package, or they make a quick little gift for a friend.  When I spotted these Sesame Street Figures at Dollar Tree a while ago, I knew that they would make great Christmas Ornaments for 3 little granddaughters that I know and love!

You can order 12 of these Sesame Street Figures in a case online! You could make a bunch of the ornaments, or help your little ones and give them to their friends.

I purchased these. Luckily I was able to get Grover because he is Alicia's favorite and I think her little Sofia will love it, too.
    Here is how I made these ornaments one at a time.  Most of the supplies, I had on hand.  A lot of them were probably purchased at Dollar Tree!  For all of the ornaments, you will need a glue gun and glue. 
​

Elmo

     Elmo is such a popular character.  Since he loves music, I decided that he would love a bell! I think my little Amelia will love him on her package this year! 
For Elmo you will need:
  • a jingle bell
  • thin red ribbon
  • cord or ribbon for hanging
  • tiny pom poms (I used the kind with bits  of tinsel in them. )
Click on the photos for the instructions!

Elmo is holding up his hand ready to hold his bell.
I replaced the cord on the bell with ribbon to hang off of his arm. I used the cord from the bell as the hanger on the back of Elmo.
He needed to be a little more festive, so I gave him a pom pom scarf. It looks Christmasy...
...and it hides the raw edges of the hanging cord!

He came out pretty cute!

Cookie Monster

    We all love Cookie Monster!  We have a stuffed toy Cookie Monster that talks that we have had since Madalynn was a baby!  Emily has played with him at my house quite a bit, so I know she will love receiving this ornament.  Of course, Cookie Monster must have a Christmas cookie! 
You will need: 
  • a wooden star shape
  • brown and white acrylic paint
  • Felt and pom pom for the hat
  • a cord for hanging. 
  • glitter
Cookie is ready to hold up his cookie for everyone to see!
I glued his hanging string on his palm so that it would be covered by the cookie later.
I painted the cookie like gingerbread with brown and white. For the hat, I had some Santa hat stickers that I glued on and then covered the back with another one. I had to do some trimming to make it work. You could also just cut the hat out of felt and add a pom pom.
I decided that Cookie needed to sparkle, so I used some glitter on the cookie in the end.

Oops! There is a piece of hat on his toe! Ha Ha! I'm glad I did the sparkle. What do you think?

Grover

    We all think that Grover is pretty funny and special.  We feel like he should get more attention on Sesame Street!  Who doesn't love his famous book, The Monster at the End of This Book?  If you don't have it, it would make a great gift this Christmas! Alicia is really going to appreciate Sofia receiving this ornament featuring Grover bringing the Christmas Tree! 
Here is what you will need: 
  • ribbon or chord to hang him up
  • red felt
  • a tiny Christmas Tree
This Grover figure has both arms open away from his body, so that gave me more options as to what he might me holding or doing!
I glued ribbon right up the back of his head and then gave him a red felt scarf to cover the ends.
I crossed the scarf over the front of Grover and glued it in place. I also cut little fringe on the ends of each scarf.
I put hot glue on his hand and tucked the little tree right under his arm!

I love how Grover turned out! He looks so great on the tree!
