Handmade Christmas Tapestry Recommendations [Great for ideas and how-to tips!] (21–30)
Felt Christmas Tapestry
If you’re thinking, “I want to make a Christmas tapestry with my child!”, how about this felt-based idea? Cut the felt into shapes like a tree and attach them to a base.
Then just add decorative balls or your favorite stickers! It’s very easy, yet it will become a memorable tapestry.
Felt is easy to handle, so if your child can use scissors, they’ll probably enjoy cutting out the parts too.
Mini tapestry made from cut cloth
Here’s an idea for a star-shaped mini tapestry using precut fabric (cut cloth).
You can use any fabric you like, but please choose something with a Christmas feel.
There are four patterns, so make a template for each one.
Cut the required number of fabric pieces according to the templates, then sew them together to create the design.
Use a sewing machine for piecing, and also for the quilting.
Layer fusible interfacing between the top and the backing fabric and sew them together, then trim away any excess fabric.
Finish by binding the edges with bias tape, and you’re done!
Christmas Flower Tapestry
When we think of tapestries, we tend to picture fabric, but how about adding a twist and making a flower tapestry? Its strong presence makes it a great accent for any room.
Basically, all you do is attach your favorite flowers and items to a small fabric tapestry base, so it’s easy.
Greenery like fir, Christmas decorations such as reindeer and Santa, and ribbons are all cute options.
Try making one with items you love.
Since you can’t change the items once they’re glued on, it’s best to arrange them first to decide on the look, then attach them.
Patchwork tapestry made with Christmas fabrics
Here’s an idea for a tapestry made with Christmas-patterned fabric.
There are many designs for tapestries, but this one is made by sewing together square pieces.
Use three colors of fabric and arrange them in a 7-by-7 grid.
Sew each horizontal row together with a 1 cm seam allowance, then lay the rows on top of batting and sew them together vertically.
Trim any excess batting, place the backing fabric, and sew everything together with bias tape for the edging.
Depending on the fabrics you choose, the tapestry’s look will change nicely.
Sunbonnet Sue Christmas tapestry
Here’s an idea for a Christmas tapestry featuring the popular character Sunbonnet Sue—well-known to anyone who loves patchwork.
A Christmas tree and Sunbonnet Sue from behind… just looking at it is soothing, isn’t it? Basically, you cut the fabric into parts and sew them onto a base fabric.
Please take your time finishing each piece with care.
We’ll also add Lemon Star blocks to the four corners of the tapestry.
It takes time, but I think it will become a very memorable piece.
Definitely try making it as a Christmas decoration.
Christmas tapestry made with punch needle
Punch needle is a technique where you thread a needle with yarn and punch it into the fabric, stitching as if you were drawing a picture.
You can buy dedicated tools even at 100-yen shops, so it’s popular with beginners in handicrafts.
It takes patience, but the process itself is simple, making it a great project to do with children.
Prepare a Christmas-themed tapestry and your favorite colors of yarn, then stitch with the needle.
The fluffy texture adds a sense of warmth, making it perfect for winter.
Rapunzel-style Christmas tapestry
Let’s make a tapestry inspired by Disney’s popular film Tangled.
Rapunzel is known for her long hair, of course.
In this idea, you’ll represent her hair by braiding yellow yarn.
Glue the braided yarn in a wavy pattern onto a tree-design fabric poster, then decorate it with flowers, ornaments, and ribbons using a hot glue gun.
Finally, border the tapestry with party garland to finish.
It’s a sparkly, cute tapestry that’s sure to delight girls.
