felt christmas lights

Back in October I came across a picture of felt christmas lights. They stopped me in my tracks, I thought they were so adorable! And lucky for me, the very next day my mom was coming over with my partners-in-crime-crafty-nieces for MEA break. So we left the little kids home with mom and I took Mara and Sonna to JoAnns to pick out our felt. We didn't have instructions but talked through all the things we'd need and when we got back the girls got busy! They each did a different stitch and I think they're both adorable.

And now, a month later, they have made many more lights... so many that Mara is planning to string hers around her bedroom, and Sonna under her bunk bed. I have all the stuff to make my own, but you'd be surprised how little crafting time I have these days! This just may not be my season for crafty projects. Thank goodness I have my nieces!
