Welcome to our Happy Holiday Series- Part 2!
Last week we started off our Holiday Series with a wonderful Christmas themed video using our love, Felt! Today we thought to blend our love for crafts and felt together! You guessed it, we're going to help you, inspire you, and get your creative juices flowing with our DIY Holiday Crafts using our Felt!!
We are all in fast forward mode getting everything ready for the holidays (which is about 2 weeks away..eeeks). With social media such as Pinterest (one of my personal favourites) decorating might be a little easier this year or if you're anything like me, at least you can stare at the pins hoping your home looks remotely close to what you see on the internet! Let's face it sometimes those Pinterest pins seem way to complicated to be a DIY project unless you've been crafting since you were a baby (which I haven't..). So to make your life easier and to reassure you that you can have simple and easy DIY decorating projects we thought to list a few ideas for you to craft on your own or with family and friends! Here is our 2012 Holiday Felt Decorating Ideas! Enjoy.
