Felt Christmas decorations with beads and embroidery

1   Use the template which is available as a separate PDF file on this page and cut out two pieces of felt for each hanging decoration.

2   Embroider your chosen design with DMC metallic thread. Push the needle up from the back and through a sequins on the front. Thread a bead onto the thread and push the needle back through the sequins and onto the back.

3   Sew the front and the back felt parts together with buttonhole stitches once you have finished decorating the front. Leave a small opening and fill with polyester stuffing before closing it completely.

Another variant   Mark the design with a pencil on the back and use it as a guide when embroidering the design, pushing the needle from the back onto the front.

5   Sew sequins and beads onto the front as shown in the photo.

6   Finish by sewing on a thread for hanging.
