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.

1. Measure the book. Add 1/4-inch to the height and 8 inches to the book's width (for front and back covers and the spine).
2. Cut this size from green felt, and wrap around the book. Fold the extra width inside the front and back covers. Close the book; then glue the felt where the ends meet at the top and bottom of the covers. Hold glued edges with paper clips and let dry.
3. Cut out reindeer pattern and date pattern. Trace reindeer and numbers on white felt. Cut out and attach to the green felt cover with fabric glue.
