Do you remember the review I did of the Fab Felt Holiday Crafts class on Craftsy? Â It really does have a whole lot of fun ideas and projects for the festive season and although time is tight for festive sewing, I'm determined to get a couple under my belt this year.
Here are the projects covered in the class:
- Felt tree ornaments – 4 different types of origami inspired ornaments
- Penguin or Santa wine sleeve
- Poinsettia brooch or gift topper
- Felt gingerbread houses
- Mini Christmas trees
- Multi-colored festive garland
- Felted wool slippers
I've been inspired by one of the projects and plan to work on something later this week. Â No idea if it will work out but I'll share it even if it doesn't. Â Nothing more fun than a felty-failure.
But here are a few things that weren't a failure – they were a great success.  Here are my Felt Christmas Trees!
Felty Fir Trees
These are made with a stuffed cone and fringed felt is sewn around in a spiral. Â I added on a few embellishments with some sparkly baubles, some big snowballs and a gold star ornament, all from the dollar store.
These were a fun project to sew and I did them while sitting watching TV at the same time because they didn't need to be done that carefully.
One word of advice – our lovely presenter did say not to over-stuff them, but well, I'm never one to follow advice, so I did over-stuff them and of course I made the bases a bit too round so they don't sit as upright as they should. Â Total user error! Â But I actually like that they are a bit wonky, looks kinda quirky.
Next I'm going to work on the felt ornaments for my tree and the mystery project – hope it turns out well.

They are so adorable Deby and don’t seem so complicated to make. Congrats for another fabulous project!
