Here is our 2021 Crafter's Advent Calendar!
Make a charming and highly personal but also very mysterious festive decoration. Every day of the advent will reveal a new item to stitch onto the background to create a delightful scene that will be only be completed on December 24th.
This year, Corinne has been inspired by the woodlands, traditional Scandinavian folk art and storytelling. Her choice of colours and designs never fails to delight crafters and the quality of the materials guarantees that you will cherish this decoration for years to come.
Open 1 set of instructions each day to discover what element needs adding to the picture. Each set of instructions contains a full size template, very clear instructions about which felt to use and where the piece(s) need to go on the background. There are also suggested stitch designs and ideas for further embellishment.
You will be longing to know what the next day holds and to add to your picture but no peeking or cheating is allowed!
Each day’s stitching is designed to take around 1 hour.
The finished item can be framed, made into a wall hanging or turned into a cushion. You can purchase another 16" / 40cm square of felt for the back here.
