You'll never celebrate another holiday without adorable, handmade felt decorations when you have Heart-Felt Holidays: 40 Festive Felt Projects to Celebrate the Seasons by Kathy Sheldon and Amanda Carestio. This book includes easy felt craft projects for every holiday and celebration. From felt New Year's Eve buntings to interactive felt kinara wall hangings for Kwanzaa, Heart-Felt Holidays has tutorials for parties and events from January to December.
Heart-Felt Holidays begins with a discussion about the different kinds of felt you can use in your felt projects, as well as a few other materials you will need to embellish your decorations. It also provides a short overview of different decorative embroidery stitches that you can use when sewing your felt projects. You will also find information on a few other craft techniques you can use when working with felt. In addition to helpful tutorials, this book also provides templates for each felt project at the back of the book, so you don't have to do any drawing or guesswork.
The collection of 40 holiday projects included in Heart-Felt Holidays begins in January with a New Year's garland that reads "Cheers!" Moving through the holidays in chronological order, the book features crafts for every holiday, including projects for even minor holidays like Martin Luther King, Jr. Day and Groundhog Day. Widely celebrated holidays like Valentine's Day and Halloween have a couple projects each to choose from. All of the felt creations in this book are fast and easy to create. They are so simple that you can make several for each holiday. Whether you are making Mushroom Love Brooches to give away as gifts on Valentine's Day or Rocket's Red Glare felt fireworks to hang around the house for the 4th of July, you will have plenty of time and materials to make a whole bunch of them. Heart-Felt Holidays also includes a few projects for other celebrations, like birthday parties and baby showers, so you'll never have a party without a few handmade touches.
