Well i figured out this is really pretty and since its home made, its really nice to have something like this on your home Christmas tree... (:
I've made a heart and a top part of a deer only..you can make more like a small Christmas tree or a Santa, anything!
So lets start..
What you need :
1) A fabric of your choice. Make sure it suits Christmas and something that will look nice on your Christmas tree..Need quite a lot of it, because we're gonna put fabric inside it aswel.
2) A red ribbon
3) A needle and thread of your choice matching to the fabric.
4) Glue that pastes well...Superglue?
5) A button for the eye, a red cloth for the deer's collar...OR any accessory that'll brighten up the decoration.
6) Pair of Siccors.
How to start :
1) Take the fabric of your choice & fold it into 2. Reason is you need to pieces of the same design to stitch this. and cutting it at the same time is easier.
Mine was a golden color one. And draw the simple design you want. The details can be done through buttons and ribbons or laces.. I did a heart and a deer so i'l show you how i stitched them.
So in the first step, you draw the design you want on it. I drew my deer, but i didn't need to draw the heart. I used ofcorse a permanent marker so it'll visibly show in the picture for your'll but sometimes when you so if you don't cut avoiding the lines, it will be visible... So try drawing it with a pen.
Here's the deer i drew,
2) Cut the design. So you get two pieces of what you drew...
3) Next you're gonna stitch them together. So get a matching thread and also get a needle. Follow these instructions in the collage and proceed with the bracket stitch until a certain point where you have atleast 5 inches long space. Meaning you should stop before five inches from where you started to sew, so then you have space to fill the inside of the deer.
I hope you see the steps? Well i'll just note them down anyway for you. Hope you understand, if there's any questions, comment below & ask (:
Follow the steps noted below aswell..gives a clear definition of what i couldn't write in the collage. Please press the picture to enlarge it and see... (:
1) Sew these two hearts together one on one with the bracket stitch.
2) After sewing one normal stitch for the start (the not).... Identify the spot to start sewing with the needle.
3) Send the needle through the spot you chose.
4) Lower the thread so the needle comes onto the top.
5) Curve that thread to the opposite side, with the needle still on the top.
6) Send the needle through.
7) Tighten the stitch you just sew.
8) Continue until atleast five inches before the start and stop there.
Ends up like this after sewing, i' not sure whether you can see the space i haven't sewed though..
See where the thread is, from there atleast 4 or 5 inches haven't been sewn. can you see?

4) Alright so now, get more fabric and start filling the inside of this. Make it look puffy and stiff. So its gonna look like in the below picture, and then sew the rest of it with the bracket stitch again.
5) Done! now make it look nice! The deer has to have an eye and making it have a collar looked cute...! (:
I used a button which was sewn onto something else. And i cut it straight from the back so it has that stitch still in front, i thought its cool. And so anyway i just pasted it with the super glue to the spot where the eye is supposed to be!
I also took a strip of red cloth, and folded them in so the edged of the cloth can't be seen, that way i didn't need to sew it..And then i pasted it with super glue again around the neck of the deer to make it look like a collar and i cut the access parts.
You can do anything else you wish! Be creative! (:
6) Use a small strip of the red ribbon, and paste them to the back of the deer's head. I did the same to the heart aswell.
That's all! At the end my result was this :
Try it ! Be creative & Enjoy! (:
With Love,
