Tips and tricks

  • Use different materials: Try other materials like shimmer fabric or satin if you feel the felt is too bland or doesn’t match your other Christmas decorations. Alternatively, add glitter to the felt to make it sparkly.
  • Try different decorative shapes: Our design uses a traditional red Christmas ornament as a base for the wall art. Feel free to try other felt shapes, like a yellow star, a green Christmas tree, or a white or light blue snowflake.
  • Go bigger: Scale up the DIY Christmas wall art project by using a bigger or longer canvas, making room for additional details with extra materials. For instance, use a long canvas to create three red felt ornaments at different heights.
