Felt Christmas Wreath Tutorial
Meet: Dalys from

5. Sew … and since I’m a glutton for punishment, I sewed a double seam to ensure greater durability …
6. Now it’s time to transfer the mirror-image numbers … (check back soon for my ‘screen cap’ tutorial on how to make mirror image text and numbers in a Microsoft Word document).
… the transfer paper I used comes out a bit grainy, but I really like that aged look on the drop cloth canvas …… and the finished product …

I‘m hanging out here today with Lisa…
