Again winter colors

Again winter colors for the first project of this year.

I like the tumbler pattern but I never used it before...

I think it's perfect to use with fabrics that I didn't want to cut  in too much little pieces

 (I love the big red-gray dots fabric!) .   

Here is how the project start to grow on my design wall...

The first (and more spontaneous) layout is with random colors .... 

...any suggestion for a different one?

Happy New Year and the Winner...

Last time Christmas decoration tutorial

You need: wool felt balls (three different size), bits of black and orange felt, two little wooden sticks.   Stitch eyes,smile and buttons with a black thread...and make the nose rolling a tiny orange felt piece between fingers. Roll a piece of black felt to make the upper part of the hat. Add nose and hat at the head with the help of few drops of hot glue.

   

Use hot glue to make the body adding the two largest felt balls and ,  at last , add the head too.

Add the wooden sticks for the arms and a scrappy fabric stripe for the scarf....

...and enjoy your very last time Christmas tree decoration !
