Decorate the gingerbread man
1. Sew on two black micro buttons (or beads) for his eyes, sewing through to the back to create an indentation.
2. Sew on the two small heart buttons for his cheeks and backstitch a smiling red mouth from button to button. Sew on the three gingham buttons down his chest.
3. Fold the gingham ribbon in half and secure the ends at the back of the head with the remaining heart-shaped button to make a hanging loop.
To make turning through the limbs easier, poke a drinking straw into the arm/leg, push a wood skewer into the end of the straw and roll the arm/leg onto the skewer.
Christmas Wreath
This door wreath is made from a simple wire base decorated with fabric rags and felt stars and hearts. It’s a great way to use up those linen leftovers from a year’s worth of stitching projects. My children help with the tearing up of the fabric and the tying of the knots. The hearts and stars take just a couple of evenings to complete. The wreath would look great on any internal door, or use it to decorate the feature wall in the living room. For coordinated Christmas decorations, make heart garlands and hanging stars for the tree.

1.5m (13⁄4yd) 120cm (47in) wide dress-weight cotton fabric
