Decorations

Here's some felt decorations I've been making today.  I've used cookie cutters as templates and then either stuffed them or sewn on extras as decoration.  I've stitched round the outside of each decoration with embroidery floss as don't like trying to turn felt right side out as don't find the results very good and like using the embroidery floss as an added part of the decoration of each piece.












I think my favourite has to be the sequinned flamingo, not very Christmassy I know but it's fun!

    Really lovely! Especially the flamingo, how long did it take to sew on all those sequins?!

    Surprisingly quickly! It's not as bad as I thought, it's something you can do without thinking about too much which I've liked very much today!

    Lovely idea! It looks quite easy but the effect is amazing!
    I'll surely try it as well.
    it could be also a nice decoration for some funny Christmas wreath. Good idea!

    Thanks! I've got a vast collection of cookie cutters so expect more weird and wonderful Christmas decorations! A wreath would be fantastic! Good idea!
