Winterberry Felt Decorations

You will need:

Wool felt (cream and one other colour)

Dark brown, red and cream coloured embroidery threads

Gold thread

Wool fleece stuffing

Scissors

Sewing needle

Cut out a circle from the cream coloured felt.

Now cut out a slightly bigger circle from your background coloured felt.

Most embroidery threads are made up of 6 strands. Use 1 or 2 strands of dark brown and backstitch to sew the branch.

Add French knots in red at the end of each twig, to make the berries. Use two strands and wrap once or twice.

Sew the front onto the background piece of felt, using a simple running stitch, filling with wool stuffing just before sewing right up.

Sew on a length of gold thread for hanging your decoration on a tree or winter branch.
