What if you were going to be away from home for Christmas? What could you take with you to ensure that your home-from-home would not seem bare in the festive season?
Voila – a non-invasive Christmas decoration!
This is the prototype. Materials used here were a tatty old red paper napkin, a piece of scrap paper (for the leaves of unidentified species) and a large berry cut from a piece of sky in a magazine picture. As you can see, in the prototype, the side of the folded large triangle has been stapled, as were the leaves and berry.
I will now try a version made from red and green felt, with the side sewn closed and the leaves and berries sewn on with a couple of stitches. Or what about using 4 red fabric triangles with quilt batting/wadding sandwiched in between?
If my pictures and words don’t make sense then think about a photo held in an album by those triangular photo-corners.
