I think this is clearly a breach of copyright. Even if you were making the ornaments yourself to sell, the law of most countries stipulates that instructions/patterns are for personal use only. Making ornaments and selling them is not personal use; it's commercial use, even if you're doing it for a charity. As for making kits out of copyrighted materials, that would be unwise. It is a breach of copyright and in many countries you could be sued or at least receive a nasty letter from the publisher's lawyer. You are redistributing copyrighted materials without permission and profiting from them.
