I made 31 ornaments… Because there are just so many great stories I want my kids to know from the Bible, and I didn’t know which ones to leave out.
So, of course, while I was making my own I just couldn’t stop there. I decided to make a pattern for all 31 ornaments and offer it to you here.
And, last night I finally got all the way through formatting and drawing and taking pictures and it is finally ready to go!
Go get your own 31 Jesse Tree Ornament Patterns right here!
Included in the instant download are all 31 patterns, detailed instructions for making the ornaments, and pictures to guide you.
And, I know what you’re thinking.
It’s already Advent–pretty near Christmas.
If you haven’t made your Jesse Tree Ornaments already you aren’t going to this year.
I hand-stitched all of mine (although they could be made by gluing).
I didn’t hold back on adding details to mine because I want my family not only to learn about all those leading up to Christ through these ornaments.
But I want my Jesse Tree Ornaments to be a family heirloom. Something the kids look forward to pulling out and using every year.
I am so happy to see my kids excited and interested in the ornaments already.
This is our first year doing the Jesse Tree. And it is so fun to see how much the kids learn just by looking at the ornaments.
They are young and interested in more stories than others. But they love it each evening when we light the advent candles and read about another Old Testament figure.
And, really, when it comes to the lesser-known characters it’s a good education for me and my husband as well!
If you’d like a closer look at all of the ornaments involved in this pattern, here ya go!
Start now and you’ll be sure to have a set of beautiful, handmade ornaments your children will cherish next advent and for years to come.
I’m wondering about the size as well – is it 5″ like the Jesus tree ornaments?
Also, I’m thinking about stitching the title and bible reference on the back of each one, though I have no clue how hard that may be! Maybe I could just write it 🙂
What is the final size of each ornament?
I purchased the Jesse tree ornament pattern and the Nativity pattern. Will a PDF of the patterns be emailed to me? I’ve only received an emailed receipt for my payment to Gumroad Inc. I saw something pop up about an app but I’m not on a mobile device. Where/How do I retrieve the patterns I purchased?
emailing you now.
Are these patterns vector images? I’d like to use them on a silhouette cutter.
They are PDF’s of vector images I created.
I’d like to do the ornaments in cross stitch as I have no skill whatsoever at those small felt pieces. Have you considered making your patterns available as cross stitch? Thank you!
I have thought about that! Just waiting for the time to do it! Hopefully soon!
Thank you! You’ll have a customer for it when you do 🙂
do you sell sets of these I can use as Christmas gifts?
I sell only the patterns. Sorry!
Beautiful! Just bought the pattern! The ornaments were bigger than i was thinking they would be. What did u hang them on?
We have a small simple christmas tree that my husband used in college actually. we set it up in our playroom and hang the ornaments on there.
hi!! is there a way you can do a pattern for a lent/easter jesus tree? it goes from the presentation of the temple to the resurrection…
i loved the jesse tree patterns!!! we did them over xmas.. 😉
What a great idea! I’ve never heard of that before but now I’m dying to get started on it. I’ll let you know when/if it is ready!
Love, love, love these ornaments. My little ones and I did a colored jesse tree this year and I had planned to laminate them, but now we are going to make these instead… and we need to start now if we have any chance of finishing by next Advent! I love your choice of colors, but do have one question. When I printed out the patterns, it indicates that black is to be used as the base for each ornament; but it looks like maybe you chose your own colors as the base for each pattern? Could you kindly let me know if this is what you did or if you think black would be better. Thanks and Happy New Year!
Each ornament has 2 large circles: a colored circle that all the smaller pieces are stitched onto. Then, I cut our a second big circle as the BACK of the ornament. All of the backs of my ornaments are black. I hope that makes a little more sense. Feel free to ask if you have any more questions!
Thank you for your reply! I will be in touch if anything else comes up. 🙂
Which devotional book did you use for these? Most of the books I am finding only have 25 days. I really like all the ones you included so I’m wondering where I can find a resource to use all of them. Thank you!
I pulled together a whole bunch of different devotionals for this and I included 30 so that people have some choices. Have you bought the pattern? It comes with a scripture reading for each day.
I bough the pattern but have not found the scripture reading for each day. Can you points me in the righ directions
Hi! I just purchased your templates. I love these ornaments and I can’t wait to make and start using. Would you mind to share what specific colors and how much of each you ordered from Benzi? Thanks!
Hi!
I would get this: http://www.etsy.com/listing/62808555/wool-blend-felt-10-12×18-20-9×12-40-6×9.
And get the 20 9×12 sheets. Pick out all of the basic colors, heavy on the Browns and get 2 sheets of black.
Hope that’s helpful!
These are beautiful and I love them! I have a question though, do you have any text for each ornament to help explain the context to kids?
I don’t have anything like that because I found such great resources online already. Do a quick search. There is some really great stuff out there already.
Will this work?
nice job i see << seems u forgot prophet Muhammed 🙂
