This super easy candle mat is a great way to use up those fall colored felt scraps just add a pumpkin scented candle and it makes a great hostess gift this Thanksgiving.
You will need:
White felt 1/4 yard
Scraps of felt in fall colors
used here:
Gold Nugget
Fresh Cut Grass
Autumn Leaves
Beet
Courtyard
Hot Chocolate
Tomato Soup
Banana Cream Pie
coordinating thread
Brown embroidery thread
Step 1:
Cut 2- 12″ circles from the white felt. Feel free to adjust this to whatever size suits your needs or make it really easy and just trace a plate. Set one circle aside.
Step 2:
Begin cutting random blobs from scraps of fall colored felts. Place and pin at top, bottom and sides of one of your white felt circles. Try to make each “tree” a little different from the others. Fill in the rest of the space and pin when the placement looks right.
Step 3:
Using brown embroidery thread create tree trunks and branches with a quick running stitch along each tree.
Step 4:
Once all the branches and trunks have been stitched begin stitching down your trees with coordinating thread.
Step 5:
Once all the trees have been sewn into place, stack white felt circles together and trim any uneven edges before overcast stitching them together with white thread.
Enjoy!
