Choosing an Christmas Image

 The first step is to choose a Christmas image you would like to use.  The easiest way is to search online in Google images. This Santa face was found when I searched for Christmas coloring pages.  Once I found the image I wanted to use, I printed it out to fit full page. Then traced it out so I could keep the original for future use. But you could just print out 2 images.

Choosing Colors, Santa Cut Out

 The next step is to Cut out the image and from the paper and assign colors to each piece.  Once you cut out each piece, then you can trace around each one on the respective color of soft felt, then cut out.  The santa face where the eyes are can be just sewed with a few satin stitches or for no sew option just glue on small black eyes, or buttons can be applied for eyes as well. 

Lay Out Felt Pieces , and Attach

Santa Face Lay-Out

 One you have cut out all your felt pieces, you can then lay out the Santa face like puzzle pieces onto the green soft felt piece. 

Then do adjustments as necessary,  If you prefer the sewing method as shown above just simply use a running stitch around each piece starting with the  champagne face first then add pieces accordingly, beard, whit hat trim, red had and white hat ball, add the mustache pieces just below the nose and small red mouth.

These can also be assembled using the no sew method for younger hands using felt glue.

Once assembled and attached to the green felt, then you can apply to green soft felt to the larger Red stiff easy felt centering at the top leaving room for the letters at the bottom.

Any letters can be used, such as Welcome, Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, etc.

Add Embellishments - Or Not

Once you have placed the green felt and words for the bottom. The only thing left to do is add embellishments if desired. This can be any number of things. Adding buttons, sequins, beads, rick rack, or just stitching as done here. Once you are all done with you Christmas Door Sign, apply loops at the top to hang it with a dowel rod, or you can add hooks to hang. This design is very versatile and can be made many different ways, according to skill level.

I hope you enjoy this craft and look for more of my door signs for every month of the year.
