Just putting a short review of a fairly new Christmas book that is published by Search Press and should fill you with Christmas cheer. Felt makes great decorations, and this book from the 20 to Make Series is worth a look at this time of year.

If
you have got a few minutes to spare in the run-up to Christmas (haven't we all?), then that would
be all you would need to choose one of the designs and make up several of
them. They are all designed for felt
that you can buy in your local craft shop, and for those that require shape
cutting, there are templates included at the back.
There
are some very cute designs, such as the owl on the cover, Christmas angels and
a tin (felt) soldier. Also worth a go
are the stitched snowflakes mounted on tiny embroidery hoops (right). If you made up lots of these, it would be a
perfectly decorated tree for any self-respecting embroiderer at Christmas. None of the projects will be taxing or
time-consuming but there are some great ideas.
I for one will be making felt envelopes with stitched names for my
stitching friends (and of course, an extra large one to send to Santa).
