Felt & Stitch Holiday

I am so excited to have a few Christmas crafts/gifts done so early thanks to Betz White’s Felt & Stitch Holiday online workshop.  My friend Annmarie signed up with me, and we had a great time getting together each week to work on our projects. Here’s a few pictures of my favorite projects.  The Santa napkin holders were the most time-consuming, but I really want to make another set.

The pinecone is made with a thrifted sweater and the others are made with wool-blend felt. This was my first real experience using wool-blend felt instead of acrylic craft felt, and I have to say, it was so much nicer to work with.

    Oh, the Santa napkin holder is so cute!

    And thanks for stopping by my blog!

    P.S. I used to be a newspaper food editor; I bet I read a ton of your husband’s stuff!

    The pinecone is adorable! Love it. Do you use a styrofoam egg as the base and pin the sweater pieces on the base?

    Thanks Kelly! The pinecone base is also made of felt, sort of a cone shape, stuffed with fiberfill. And then the strips of felt are sewed onto it.
