How to Make a Charming Felt Christmas House

Introduction

If you love DIY projects and are looking for an inspiring Christmas decoration idea, this felt Christmas house is just for you! The process is easy, enjoyable, and perfect for handmade craft lovers. In this creative video, part of the "Creativity by EM ART" initiative, we’ll show you how to create a beautiful and original Christmas house that will bring coziness and warmth to your home during the holidays.

Materials Needed

To make the house, you’ll need the following materials:

• Cardboard
• Two colors of felt – red and white
• Wooden craft sticks (colored)
• Small decorative bell
• Wooden Christmas Embellisment
• Glue (preferably hot glue)
• EVA foam (for the handle and decorations)
• Hole punch or craft punch(to cut EVA elements)
• White A4 paper sheet

Step 1: Creating a Template

1. Take a white sheet of paper and draw the shape of the house – it can be larger, smaller, rounded, or more angular.
2. Divide it into two parts – base (bottom part) and roof.
3. The roof can resemble a Christmas hat – for an extra festive look.
4. Cut out the templates.

Step 2: Preparing and Cutting the Elements

1. Place the templates on the felt – the base in red, the roof in white.
2. Carefully trace with a pencil and cut out.
3. Do the same with the cardboard. You’ll need two pieces of each material (felt and cardboard).
4. Make sure all cut-out shapes match perfectly.

Step 3: Assembling and Decorating

1. Glue the felt pieces onto the cardboard.
   We recommend hot glue, as it’s strong and quick to use.
2. Make the door from wooden craft sticks:
   • Arrange 4 sticks vertically – two longer ones in the center and two shorter ones on the sides.
   • Trim the excess and glue them together.
   • Add horizontal sticks to resemble a wooden gate.
3. Create a handle for the door:
   • Punch out a small circle from EVA foam and glue it in place.
4. Assemble the base and the roof by carefully gluing them together.
5. Add final decorations of your choice – a handmade door sign, EVA elements, bell, buttons, figurines, snowflakes, and more.
6. Glue the decorated house vertically onto another wooden craft stick.

Tips and Extra Ideas

• Instead of red and white felt, use colors of your choice.
• Use the house as a Christmas ornament, gift, tree decoration, or part of a festive garland.
• The project is great for kids – with your help, of course!

Conclusion

Making a felt Christmas house is a fun and inspiring way to get ready for the holidays. With a few simple steps, lots of imagination, and the right materials, you can create something unique and beautiful with your own hands.
