Make your own gingerbread-inspired JOY bunting, with softly padded felt letters, white embroidered “icing” details and little striped ribbon bows. It’s a lovely decoration for a mantelpiece, shelf or cosy Christmas corner, or a thoughtful handmade gift.

The tutorial guides you through embroidering the sprigs and zigzags, joining the felt layers, adding stuffing and hanging loops, and assembling your finished garland.

What’s included:

• JOY letter templates.

• Step-by-step making instructions.

• Illustrated guides for backstitch, lazy daisy stitch and blanket stitch.

• Two options for transferring the embroidery designs

• Instructions for stuffing, hanging and adding the ribbon bows.

Choose gingerbread-brown felt for the traditional look shown, or try colours to match your Christmas decorations.
