Pebeo 'PEN'dants for your X-mas tree


Pebeo "PEN"dants
Make it a very Pebeo Christmas


With the holidays approaching FAST, and in our case, we still have no X-mas tree up (YIKES) , perhaps there's still time to create some fabulous christmas tree ornaments with the family and your Pebeo fabric markers. 

All you need are the basics: Pebeo SetaScrib Fabric Markers in Fluoro or basic colour packs
A piece of pre washed calico
Black permanent ink stamp 
Christmas stamps. 
And last but not least a bit of ribbon and some VERY basic sewing skills. 
So let's get started

Choose a stamp and add black permanent ink to it and stamp on image. Use a circular object(e.g.; masking tape roll) to draw an outline approximately  1 1/2cm from stamped image.

Start adding colour to the stamp.
This can be to match your decor or just because you like the colours.
Here, I've used a very simple snowflake stamp, so there's little to colour in but dots etc add a nice touch.


Before you begin sewing, remember to iron your design so as it's permanent when washed.


If you can handle a sewing machine then stitch away. I chose not to turn my piece inside-out as I want the edges to fray over time. A personal choice. Remember to leave a gap to add the stuffing and the ribbon.


Add the stuffing, add a loop of ribbon and sew up the hole and you're done.

Her's a few I made. Washed and ready to fray the edges. I added a couple of X-mas tree stamps to my selection as well. It all depends on your choice of stamps really and what YOU like.



Wishing you all a wonderful festive season,
XOX
