Candy Cane Holders

Since I have a lot of candy canes around from the candy cane horses I thought I'd try and make something else with them. I remembered seeing something on Pinterest where a character is holding the candy cane so I went with that.

These were pretty easy to make. I sewed the face on a piece of felt first, then made the additional parts, like Rudolph's ears and antlers, and then I sewed the two pieces of felt together adding in two loops of felt to be the hands holding the candy cane.

How cute would these little guys be hanging on a Christmas tree?

Elf Baubles

It's another Christmas one folks, and another chance for me to use up some of my Christmas coloured felt.

How cute is this Christmas elf bauble?? That's right, it's a bauble, not an egg, as a few of my family members have thought.

To make it I painted a bauble skin colour and stuck on some card ears.

I sewed the little felt hats and added a pom pom, which is wear the thread for hanging comes out. I painted on the face with a tiny brush and then they were done.

Once I'd figured out the pattern for the hats they were really quick to make, so I could see myself making a whole bunch.  

Twas the night before Christmas

Here's another little Christmas craft to share with you.

I've had these wooden people photo holders for a while but never go round to decorating one. Until now.

I made a Christmas elf with a traditional red and green outfit, a cute face with rosey cheeks and stuck on pointy ears and hat.

I've use it to hold my Christmas card from my parents.

Aren't meerkats hilarious?
