St. Catherine and the Miraculous Medal Craft {Liturgical Ornament}

St. Catherine of Laboure’s feast day is traditionally celebrated on November 28th and Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal is on November 27th. So I thought I’d just make one ornament for both. Read about St. Catherine HERE.

This may look like an intimidating ornament if you don’t feel you can draw well, and if that’s true for you I encourage you to use real Miraculous Medals and sew them onto the felt instead of using the gray felt and drawing the image of the medal. 

To make this ornament you will need:

• light blue felt

• pink felt

• yellow felt

• green felt

• gray felt – or real miraculous medal(s)

• a black sharpie permanent marker

• scissors (these kind work well)

• glue (hot glue, felt glue,  or tacky glue – like this or this)

• thread and needle for the looped hanger

First, cut out the parts like those above. With a black marker, draw an image of the Miraculous Medal on the gray felt shapes. OR use real medals.

Glue down your medal-image parts, or sew on your Miraculous Medal(s) onto the blue background.

Glue on the flowers, flower centers, and leaves.

Cut out around the medals and flowers to remove the extra background.

Now, add a threaded loop to the top so it can be hung up.

St. Catherine and Our Lady, pray for us!

May God bless you all with joy.
