Try making one of my handmade Snowman decorations to add to your tree!
They are a prefect quick make to get you into the Christmas spirit :)
1: Using the free pattern below, cut around the snowman base, nose and scarf shapes. The grey circles on the base give an idea of positioning for the eyes and buttons.
2: Pin your pattern pieces on the felt and cut around them. You will need 2 pieces of the snowman base, another piece for the nose and another for the scarf. The eyes and buttons can also be cut out of felt but I sewed mine with black thread. Do these now to avoid the stitches appearing on the other side.
3: On one side of the snowman base, sew the nose shape to the head with small stitches. Tie a knot in the thread to stop it from coming loose at the start and end of your stitches.
4: Place the 2 pieces of the snowman base together. Pin in place and sew together with slip or running stitches around the outside. Remember to tie a knot in your thread at the start and the end so your stitches don't come loose.
5: Wrap the scarf piece around the neck of the snowman and overlap at the front for the knot. Secure with a small stitch at the front.
6: Lastly, cut 20cm of thin ribbon. Join the 2 ends of the ribbon together and sew the ends to the back of the snowman's head.
