I love working with felt: fabric good "friends" with scissors, does not crumble, crumple and has a volume. Felt crafts can be combined with other techniques of decoration, such as felting (wallow), embroidery (including beads), knitting and appliqué. Felt toys are completely safe, unlike glass Christmas tree balls. If you have a small child or pet, the ability to take on the Christmas tree, felt toys will relieve you from the hassles and headaches.
By the way, of felt, not only can make Christmas decorations, but also to actively use it in decorating the home.
