gift bags and place mats

Fashion these homespun

place mats and gift bags from layers of wool felt,

opposite.

Cut holly leaves in the place mat's red layer and add felt

button circles to mimic berries before stitching the rectangular

piece to a green base. Cinch scallop-trimmed squares of red

and green felt with a length of ribbon adorned with pinecones

and berries to capture the gift bag's goodies.

bubble-glass tumblers and softly scalloped white ceramic

plates layered over woven wood chargers—to complement

your handiwork,
