crafty foxes

in my mollie makes  magazine  this week the project was “felt fox brooches” and I knew my 2 friends Tara & Shainey would love them, they were so easy, take a look....

Just cut 2 of the coloured felt ear pieces and 1 x white face section

Sew the brooch onto the back of one coloured piece

Then sew around the top edge (ears) of the 2 coloured pieces

Insert the face section and then sew around the remaining edge

Then simply sew on the eyes and nose

fifth craft of christmas: felt holly

to accompany the Christmas pudding decorations on the tree we also made these felt holly leaves, so easy, just cut 2 x holly leaf shapes and then one slightly smaller, add wadding and the string loop and then sew all together however you please, the berries are just red felt painted with red glitter nail varnish (I used Barry M). mine is the first darker leaf and Mum’s is the second lighter one. Coming up next for the sixth christmas craft is baking.....
