I have wanted this book for so long.

From just seeing the picture on the front of the book

I was excited about what you could make from inside.

I find felt a brilliant material to make decorations out of.

It's something that even children can try making with.

You won't be disappointed by the book.

It's packed full of 45 projects for you to complete.

You don't need to worry if you are new to hand-making

your own decorations, as the book is filled

full of information to help you with each

of the projects.

The start of the book covers everything from 

the materials that will be required,

to the tools that you will need to use.

With a basic sewing kit you can soon

start making some decorations for your house.

All the embroidery stitches are explained.

They also include illustrations to guide you

on your way.

The book is split into three sections;

Ornaments

Decorations

Stockings.

Include in these are the following projects;

Snowflake Baubles, Winter Critter Portraits, 

Matryoshka Dolls, Christmas Cones, Felt Flora, 

Perching Dvoes, Gingerbread House,

Holiday Toadstools, Animal Crackers, Apple & Pear,

Three Wise Fish, Sew Merry, Beaded Tassel Drops,

As you can see there is so much packed into this book.

The instructions are clear for each of the projects.

The instructions are broken down into easy steps

to make it easier for you to make them.

My only negative is I would of liked some pictures

to go along side the instructions.

The back of the book is made up of all the templates

you will need to use.

You will need to copy and increase the size to be able

to complete the projects.

Overall I am very glad I purchased this book.

I'm really enjoying making the different decorations.

I have also found a few that I can use all year round

and not just at Christmas.
