These Felt Holiday Crafts Will Make Your Celebrations That Much Cozier

Why does felt material always leave us feeling so warm and fuzzy? It's easy to work with (whether you sew it or glue it), and it comes in a preschool cupboard's worth of colors and pre-cut shapes. Our simple ideas lend themselves to hands both big and small, and will make your home cozy, merry, and bright.

Stay Puffs

Homemade felt ornaments look sweet adorning this delicate white pine—and are a smart alternative to fragile glass ones if you have kids and pets running around. The soft designs also add a festive touch when hung from doorknobs, windowsills, or mantelpieces, and make cute keepsake gift tags, too.

Trunk Show

The benefits of this no-sew tree skirt are threefold: It hides unsightly stands, protects floors from sticky pine needles, and does it all with stylish cheer.

The felt pockets, marked with precut numbers, are big enough to hold little gifts—from notebooks to yo-yos to mini candy boxes—and you can modify the design to fit different occasions. Pack eight pockets for the nights of Hanukkah, or a week's worth for the lead-up to a monumental birthday any time of year.
