Put the lights on the tree...put the ribbon on the wreath...call your grandma on the phone...
Ah, Songs for Christmas! It's always a joy to listen to music and make and decorate. Stitch up some sweet little lights and add them to your tree while you listen.
Here's what you need:
Felt
Embroidery floss
Floral wire
Lights pattern PDF
Cut out six pieces for the bulbs (I did 2 each of 3 colors) and three pieces for the holders.
Stitch faces onto three of the bulb pieces.
Hold (or pin) the bulb with a face with a plain bulb, then fold a holder piece over the top. Stitch all around the bulb, making sure you catch the holder really well with a few stitches. Repeat for the remaining bulbs.
Twist some floral wire together, string the lights on, then form loops at each end of the wire.
You're ready to put the lights on the tree!
This is so adorable! And creative. :)
