Mandy shows you how to make six basic wreaths and garlands using inexpensive materials such as old coat hangers and scraps of fabric, which she decorates with a whole host of seasonal characters and motifs including snowmen, robins, reindeer, Christmas trees, holly, candy canes and many more.
The instructions show Mandy's quick and clever way to stitch her felt characters which can also be used to create individual Christmas decorations for the tree as well as being used to decorate the wreaths and garlands. With this simple technique you can create lots of festive decorations in no time.
