Handilady Crafting Projects

It is Christmas Eve and you have forgotten to buy something for your neighbour. Make a number of these wreaths to surprise her. Green leaves with contrasting red or silver berries should look very attractive. A bright idea is to make about fifty leaves and tie them in groups of two or three onto a string to hang around the front door frame. You could also arrange the four leaves of this project on a circle of eight leaves, and these on a circle of sixteen leaves with a candle in the centre. Combine the small leaves with the Christmas bells to decorate gifts or to serve as a table decoration at a Christmas dinner.

Sewing Materials (for four large leaves)

Green fabric: 25 cm

Red remnants

Batting: 25 cm

Sewing Method

LEAVES

• Fold the fabric in half, right sides facing.
• Trace four leaves onto the folded fabric, but do not cut.
• Pin the folded fabric onto a strip of batting of the same dimensions. Stitch along the outlines of the leaves through all three layers, leaving the lower part of each leaf open.
• Cut out the leaves with a small seam allowance, notch the curves and turn right side out.
• Stitch from the tip of each leaf down the centre to the bottom.
• Close the opening with zigzag stitches.
• Sew the four leaves together at the bottom, making a small fold in the centre at the bottom of each leaf to make the edges of the leaves stand up.

BERRIES

• Trace the circle and cut out four red circles.
• Baste along the edge of each circle, pull the basting thread in slightly and place a small amount of stuffing in the centre. Pull the thread right and close the opening with the thread. Do not cut off the thread.
• Sew a berry in the centre at the base of each leaf, using the same thread.
• Sew each leaf onto the adjacent leaf at the lower pointed tips to make it stand up slightly.
