Make 9 Chic Holiday Accents from Felt
Take cues from Mother Nature to fashion holiday decor made from felt. Felt is low-cost, readily available and easy to use (no sewing required). Try our appliques on do-it-yourself pillows, throws and more. Links to instructions and downloadable patterns for nine holiday applique projects are in this slide show.
Make it: Meaningful mantel
1. Cut brown felt "scarf" to fit your mantel (ours is 30x48 inches).
2. Cut out dove, olive twig and "peace" letter patterns. Trace dove and letters on white felt. Trace olive twig on green felt. Then cut out the shapes.
3. Attach cutout "peace" letters to the brown scarf with fabric glue. Place letters about 3 inches from the bottom edge of the felt piece. The last letter should be about 1 inch from the scarf's edge.
4. Attach cutout white dove to the left of the word "peace" with fabric glue. Let the right wing hang off the bottom of the scarf.
5. Attach the green felt olive twig next to the dove's beak.
