How To:

1. Grab an old flannel shirt and cut a strip of fabric wide enough to cover the jar’s height, with about a one-inch overlap.
2. Run a thin vertical bead of hot glue along the starting edge of the fabric. Press it to the jar to anchor your starting point.
3. Wrap the flannel snugly around the jar, smoothing out wrinkles, then glue the end in place.
4. Tie a strand of jute twine or lace ribbon around the top rim, finishing with a small bow or knot.
5. Drop in a tealight, fairy lights, or a handful of faux berries and greenery.

How To:

1. Cut flannel into strips about 1 inch wide by 6 inches long.
2. Tie each strip around the foam wreath in a double knot.
3. Alternate plaid patterns to add visual interest.
4. Fluff the fabric ends outward with your fingers to create fullness.
5. Loop a piece of ribbon at the top and tie for hanging.

How To:

2. Stack them: flannel right sides together, felt underneath.
3. Sew around edges, leaving a one-inch gap.
4. Turn right side out and iron flat.
5. Topstitch around the border to finish.

How To:

1. Cut a large square of flannel, about 2 yards by 2 yards.
2. Fold diagonally and cut in half to form two triangle scarves.
3. Pull out horizontal threads along edges to create a light fringe.
4. Press edges flat with a warm iron.

How To:

1. Trace hearts, stars, or stockings on flannel.
2. Cut two of each shape.
3. Stitch around edges with decorative embroidery thread, leaving a gap.
4. Fill lightly with stuffing, then close.
5. Attach a twine loop for hanging.

How To:

1. Cut two 6×10-inch flannel rectangles.
2. Sew right sides together, leaving a two-inch gap.
3. Turn right side out and fill ¾ full with rice.
4. Add 5–6 drops of lavender oil.
5. Stitch the gap closed with a double seam.

How To:

1. Measure your table length and add 12 inches for overhang.
2. Cut fabric accordingly.
3. Fold and iron a ½-inch hem on all sides.
4. Sew hems down or use fabric glue for a no-sew finish.

How To:

1. Cut two 19×19-inch flannel squares for each cover.
2. Add an extra 4-inch overlap on the back panel.
3. Pin right sides together, overlapping the back pieces.
4. Sew all four sides.
5. Turn right side out and insert pillow.

How To:

1. Measure and Cut: Lay your flannel flat and cut two rectangles. For small gifts, 8×10 inches works well; for larger ones, go up to 12×16. Remember to leave room for seam allowance and the drawstring channel.
2. Sew the Body: Place the rectangles right sides together. Sew down both sides and across the bottom with a ½-inch seam allowance.
3. Create the Channel: Fold the top edge down one inch toward the inside. Iron flat for a crisp fold, then sew around the folded edge, leaving a small ½-inch gap at one side.
4. Add the Drawstring: Attach a safety pin to one end of your cord and thread it through the channel, working it all the way around. Pull both ends evenly and tie a secure knot or bow.
5. Optional Touches: Add a small handmade tag, decorative buttons, or a sprig of pine tied to the drawstring for holiday flair.

How To:

1. Prep the Fabric: Wash and iron your flannel first so it’s smooth and easy to work with. Cut shapes using templates — triangles, hearts, or squares work beautifully. Keep them around 4–6 inches wide.
2. Punch and Reinforce: Use a fabric hole punch to make small holes about ½ inch from the top corners of each shape. For extra durability, add a tiny dab of clear fabric glue around each hole. Let dry.
3. Thread the Garland: Feed your jute rope through the holes, spacing pieces about 2 inches apart. Alternate patterns — for example, red plaid, black check, and cream stripe — for visual rhythm.
4. Add Accents: Tie a mini bell, wooden bead, or piece of faux greenery between every few fabric pieces for dimension and sound.
5. Hang and Fluff: Knot both ends of the rope, then hang your garland. Adjust spacing once in place so it drapes naturally.

How To:

1. Measure and Cut: Measure your dog’s neck and add 6 inches to that number. Cut a triangle of flannel using those measurements. For small dogs, 14×14 inches works well; for medium dogs, 18×18; and for large dogs, 24×24.
2. Finish the Edges: Fold each raw edge inward ½ inch and iron flat. Sew or topstitch along the folds for a clean finish that resists fraying.
3. Add a Collar Channel: Fold the top edge down about 1 inch (or wide enough for your dog’s collar to fit through). Sew a straight line across, creating a channel.
4. Optional Snap Closure: Instead of threading through a collar, attach snap fasteners or sew on Velcro tabs at the ends for an easy tie-and-go style.
5. Personalize It: Add an embroidered initial, decorative patch, or small leather tag for a boutique-style finish.
