Felt decorates the doors

f an entrance door or any other door in our houses look boring and blank, we dont have to run to the store to buy any decorations. Instead making one statement piece ourselves gives us that pride !

I was staring at a boring white door right opposite our entrance, almost everytime i enter my home. Though it took sometime to come up with this idea, i feel better now. All i needed was some ideas, very few materials, quite some patience and hours of handy time to stitch this piece.

Items needed:
Felt material in the colors desired
Pair of sharp scissors
Needle and suitable thread in the same color as the felt material
A sewing machine or A glue gun
A marking chalk
Transparent embroidery wire if using the glue gun

Mark the desired shapes on the reverse side of the felt material and start cutting them into pieces.
Once all the pieces are ready, arrange them in the order desired.
With a marking chalk or a dark pencil, on the reverse side, mark a center line with dots or dashes before sewing.

If you are using a sewing machine:
Carefully, sew the pieces in order along the marked line.
With the help of needle and thread, make a strong loop at the top of each line for hanging.

If not using a sewing machine:
with a needle and thread, start sewing along the dotted line, not so visible on the front side.
After stitching them together, take the embroidery wire and start as a loop to hang each piece by glueing along the dotted line with the help of a glue gun...this step is just to make it stronger. ( as shown in the picture).
You can avoid the above step, if you think your hanging piece will be safe from children.

Your door hanging is ready. I have a curious toddler, and so i had to keep the length not-so-long.....you can make it a door or window curtain, if you have the patience to cut so many pieces.

Note: the pieces need not be in varied diameters. You can simply cut all of them in the same shapes and sizes to make things easier and faster.
