Christmas Wreath

This door wreath is made from a simple wire base decorated with fabric rags and felt stars and hearts. It’s a great way to use up those linen leftovers from a year’s worth of stitching projects. My children help with the tearing up of the fabric and the tying of the knots. The hearts and stars take just a couple of evenings to complete. The wreath would look great on any internal door, or use it to decorate the feature wall in the living room. For coordinated Christmas decorations, make heart garlands and hanging stars for the tree.

You will need

 1.5m (13⁄4yd) 120cm (47in) wide dress-weight cotton fabric

 Wire coat hanger shaped into a circle

 Two 33cm × 40.5cm (13in × 16in) pieces of white felt

 Polyester stuffing

 23cm × 15cm (9in × 6in) red felt

 Three small pearl buttons

 Twelve small red heart buttons

You can use any fabric leftovers if you don’t mind a more hotch-potch look.
