If you have any old quilts that are in rough shape--- I have made ornaments out of them. I traced around a cookie cutter, I used a mitten, stocking and heart and then used a straight running stitch along the edge with floss and made the hanger. A blanket stitch would do on the edges too.
Could also use old clothing and stuff alittle.
When my grandparents died, we found old quilts in a trunk outside and they were half gone so I washed and made some for all us grandkids.
