November’s Craftiosity project is here, and we’re getting into the festive spirit with Festive Felting! 🎄 This month, you’ll discover how to transform colourful wool roving into your own felt, then turn it into a collection of handmade Christmas decorations.

Using wet felting, needle felting, embroidery and beads, you’ll learn a variety of techniques to create festive shapes, add decorative details and make each piece your own.

With six beautiful wool colours, sparkling embellishments and plenty of room for creativity, this project is all about enjoying the process and adding a handmade touch to your Christmas.

Whether you’re new to felting or love trying new crafts, we can’t wait for you to get started!

A Little Festive Magic

There’s something special about making your own Christmas decorations. Each one is a little different, with its own colours, textures and personality.

This month, you’ll start by learning how to wet felt wool roving into sheets of felt. Once your felt is ready, you can cut out your chosen shapes and bring them to life with embroidery, needle-felted details and colourful beads.

You’ll also discover how to use felt and silver wire to create little Christmas jumpers with miniature coat hangers – a lovely finishing touch for your festive creations.

Take your time, enjoy experimenting and see what you can make. After all, handmade decorations are all the more special when they’re made by you!

What You'll Be Exploring

Our Festive Felting kit is a lovely opportunity to try several creative techniques in one project.

Along the way, you’ll enjoy:

• Learning how to make your own felt using wet felting

• Working with six colours of soft wool roving

• Cutting out festive shapes for your decorations

• Adding embroidered details with colourful thread

• Using needle felting to build up shapes and embellishments

• Finishing your designs with red and gold seed beads

• Creating little wire coat hangers for your Christmas jumper decorations

• Adding gold sparkle twine so your creations are ready to hang

Felting is a wonderfully tactile craft, and it’s satisfying to watch loose wool fibres gradually come together. With plenty of opportunities to experiment, you can enjoy discovering new techniques while creating decorations that reflect your own style.

Make It Your Own

One of the loveliest things about handmade decorations is that they don’t all need to look the same.

This month’s colour palette includes scarlet red, emerald green, royal blue, lightning white, dream blue and pistachio green. Alongside the wool, you’ll have embroidery thread, red and gold seed beads, silver wire and gold sparkle twine to add those special finishing touches.

Try combining colours, experimenting with different shapes or adding your own embroidered details. You could personalise a decoration with a name or date, or create something completely unique to your Christmas tree.

Your kit includes a design template to help you get started, but you can also draw your own shapes and explore different ideas.

Whether you prefer traditional festive colours or a cooler winter-inspired palette, there’s plenty of room to make this project your own.

Made for Cosy Winter Evenings

As November rolls around and Christmas draws closer, it’s the perfect time to make a little space for creativity.

Put the kettle on, pop your favourite festive music in the background and settle down with a project that encourages you to slow down and enjoy the moment.

From working with soft wool to adding delicate stitches and sparkling beads, there’s something satisfying about every stage of making.
