This little guy originally started as a keychain in my mind, though the final result might be a little big for that purpose! He would probably work great as a Big Keychain if you wanted to give it a try! He would look very cute hanging from the zipper on a backpack for sure, and fabulous sitting on your desk! Without further ado, here is the Free Pattern for my Tiny Dinosaur Amigurumi:

MAKE YOUR TINY DINO INTO A CHRISTMAS ORNAMENT!

Don’t stop there! Kids love dinosaurs So Much, that adding them to the Christmas Tree is a no-brainer!

Transforming your small amigurumi dinosaur into a Christmas ornament is a fun and creative way to add a touch of holiday fun to your decorations. With just a few simple modifications, you can make your tiny dino into a delightful holiday keepsake. Here’s how to do it:

Steps:

  1. Choose a Spot for the Hanger: Determine where you want to attach the hanger. A good spot is usually at the top of the dinosaur’s back or head. Make sure to add a small loop of yarn or ribbon for hanging.

  2. Attach the Hanger: Thread your yarn needle with a piece of yarn or ribbon, and insert it through the chosen spot. Create a loop for hanging and secure it with a knot. You can make a simple loop or a decorative bow, depending on your preference.

  3. Decorate for the Holidays: Add some holiday flair to your dinosaur ornament. You can sew on small embellishments like tiny Santa hats, scarves, or even little ornaments for your dino to hold.

  4. Hang and Enjoy: Your amigurumi dinosaur Christmas ornament is now ready to adorn your tree, wreath, or any other festive display. Hang it using the attached loop or ribbon.

Remember to get creative and customize your tiny dino with your favorite holiday-themed colors and decorations.
