Directions

Christmas figure shapes

  

  • Cut out the shapes carefully.

  • Fold the felt in half.

  • Put the shapes on the felt and hold in place with a needle.

  • Cut out the felt, following carefully the edges of the paper. To cut the felt more precisely, use a small set of kitchen scissors. You should get 2 identical pieces of felt as a result of this.

  • Mix around the different materials and shapes to visualize the final result.

Decoration of the Christmas figures

  • Stick the front part on before decorating it.

  • Sew on the decorations if you want them to stay on for a long time.

  • Sew the precious stones on with a fine needle. Do not hesitate to pass the needle through twice to make the stitch stronger.

Assembly and padding of the Christmas figure

  • Put the front and the back together and then sew them together around the edge. Leave 2 to 3cm open to stuff the figure.

  • Cut off a piece of absorbent cotton and pull at it a bit to give it more volume.

  • Stuff the figure with cotton wool using the point of the scissors to help you.

  • Finish off the stitch to close up the figure's outline.

Tips
  • Attach some velcro strips on the back of the figures and attach them to a wooden Christmas tree or use them for an Advent calendar.
