What do we need?

• few pieces of brown felt (gingerbread)
• White felt for snow
• color and pearl beads
• Green felt for Christmas trees
• few pieces of felt in other colours

How do

To make the House, use pattern.

For this pattern you can cut and the very foundation, and window and door. You can diversify our Christmas houses and fur-trees.

If the felt is too thin, make it a double, when he sewed the detail around the edges. Optionally, you can add a small packing of cotton wool, previously placed inside the unit.

Decorative elements need to sew. In doing so, we will not hide threads. You can make them colorful so interesting.

On top of the houses put “snow” from white felt, on the roof, attach beads.

Try different options, bond them together. A chain of gingerbread houses will look very unusual and fill house party atmosphere. In felt Garland can add Christmas lights.
