It happened. I didn't intend to do it, but I was beginning to see stars and nothing but red and green.
In fact, I felt like we were missing so many other colors that it was getting to be a bit overwhelming.
What was overwhelming? My Christmas tree!!
Don't get me wrong, I love our tree it just seemed to be missing some of the other colors of the rainbow.
I wanted it to represent more than the red and green of Christmas. Why not a little bit more COLOR?
Of course, I started brainstorming and finally decided, why not just make your own rainbow.
SO I DID!

Rainbow DIY Felt Christmas Ornament Pattern

Step 1
Download the felt rainbow SVG
cut file or sewing pattern at the end of the post. Upload the SVG to
Cricut Design Space.
Cut out designs in the 6 felt colors. If you are using the Cricut Maker, you have two choices. You can cut it out in felt using the deep cut blade.
Or you can cut it out as fleece using the rotary blade. I've found I like using the fleece setting.
If you don't have a cutting machine, cut out the sewing pattern pieces using small fabric scissors for the best results.
Step 2
Line up each layer of the rainbow at the bottom and center arch. Use sewing machine to stitch each layer in place one at a time.
Step 3
Use adhesive spray to attach the clouds to the bottom of the rainbow. Stitch clouds to the rainbow around the top arches.
Tip: Use the bottom layer as a template to line up the clouds and the rainbow correctly
Fold the ribbon in half and match the bottom raw edges. Tack ribbon to the inside of the rainbow backing.
Use a blanket stitch to sew the front rainbow to the back rainbow.
Stuff the rainbow as you are sewing it closed. Start by stuffing the clouds and work your way to the top.
Finish stitching the top closed.
And there you have it. A little color to spruce up that tree. Or just to hang on your dashboard mirror. Or string up in your bedroom for a little brightening up.
No matter how you plan to use this fun rainbow felt Christmas ornament pattern, just remember that color is really what makes the world a brighter place.
Plus, you can pair that cute rainbow with this adorable unicorn ornament and you've got yourself a mystical Christmas.
