Christmas Every Monday


Every Monday in October, I will be doing a tutorial for a quick and easy Christmas project.

This is the first one - a Christmas wallhanging.

You will need:

25" of upholstery webbing in red and burlap
(the webbing in red and burlap is available at HL and is
about $.99/yard)
14" of jute twine
Lightweight fusible interfacing
1 Christmas spray of greenery and berries
1 1/2" decorative ribbon (I used red stripe on burlap)
Wire for making bow
Red Felt
Hot Glue

This project has NO sewing for you non-sewers!


First, you need to find a lettering you like.  You want one that is thick and will be easy to cut out.

Reverse your letters and trace onto a lightweight fusible interfacing.


Iron the interfacing with the letters on it to a piece of red felt.  So much of the felt nowadays will not take heat well, so I always use a man's hankerchief on top of the interfacing when doing the bonding process with your iron.

(And John is always wondering where his hankerchiefs are!)


Now cut out your felt letters.  You could do NOEL, WELCOME or any greeting you desire. Just remember to adjust the length of your webbing strip to the length of your message.

My letters were about 2 1/2" wide x 3" high.


Notch the bottom of your piece of webbing.


Using your Christmas spray, cut it all apart so you have several sections.

Make a simple bow out of your ribbon using the florist wire to hold it.


Now, hot glue the top of the webbing down on the backside with the jute twine inside to form the hanger.  I turned about
1 1/2" down on the back side.

Next, add your bow with hot glue.

Then hot glue in your greenery and berries in a pleasing manner.

Lay your cut out felt letters on the webbing and determine the spacing before starting to glue.  Then glue them down.

You're finished!!

This makes a very inexpensive and nice gift for friends for the holidays.  It would be a great hostess gift.

Enjoy!

Till next time, Judy

    1. A GREAT SPELL CASTER (DR. EMU) THAT HELP ME BRING BACK MY EX GIRLFRIEND.
      Am so happy to testify about a great spell caster that helped me when all hope was lost for me to unite with my ex-girlfriend that I love so much. I had a girlfriend that love me so much but something terrible happen to our relationship one afternoon when her friend that was always trying to get to me was trying to force me to make love to her just because she was been jealous of her friend that i was dating and on the scene my girlfriend just walk in and she thought we had something special doing together, i tried to explain things to her that her friend always do this whenever she is not with me and i always refuse her but i never told her because i did not want the both of them to be enemies to each other but she never believed me. She broke up with me and I tried times without numbers to make her believe me but she never believed me until one day i heard about the DR. EMU and I emailed him and he replied to me so kindly and helped me get back my lovely relationship that was already gone for two months.

  4. I really like this a lot, and I like your clear tutorial. Would you please do a tutorial for making the bow? I've gone to various websites and tried what they've said but it just doesn't work for me ... can you make it understandable? I want to learn how to make bows!

    Thanks, Mary

  5. This is great, Judy! It sounds simple enough that even I can do it! : ) I love it as an alternative to a wreath on a door, but this would fit in just about anywhere.

  9. Oh, Judy, bless your heart on the tutorial, but there is no way that I'm going to think of Christmas this early! Guess because I'm not a crafter. I don't want to hear or see the "C" word until after Thanksgiving!

  10. Judy, I love this! This is so pretty and definitely something I would be able to do (at least I'm pretty sure I could get it done up to the bow, anyway). :)

    Thanks so much for sharing. I look forward to the upcoming Christmas Every Monday posts.

  16. Hi Judy! Following you back and I'm glad I did! This will be perfect for the new house front doors. We have double doors, and I think two Christmas wreaths will be too much. But two of these will be perfect. And thanks for the nod to us non-sewers!

  25. My friend convinced me and i had no choice than to follow my friend advice,because i never dreamed of loosing my lovely Husband. And i contacted_________Robinson.buckler {@ yahoo }. com, and i discussed with him all my problems and worries and so surprisingly,he told me that I’ll get my husband back a day after. I didn’t believed Him, until when i got home,the next day,my husband called me to inform me that he is coming back home…..So Amazing!! That’s how i got my back through spell casting and our relationship was stronger than ever. One of the price i was asked to pay was to tell it to the people around me that problems like this,can always be solved by Robinson Buckler So! my advice to you out there is to visit this same E-mail address,and tell him your problems too,if you are in any condition related to love issue or getting your ex back or and problem at all, pls Contact him and have a happy life.______ YEEEAAASSS!!!����������������������������������������
