| Here are instructions to making a 2005 Calendar Holder with the design
Year
of the Rooster.
You will need some felt of any color measuring 12" x 24", strips of
felt in yellow, blue, red or green measuring 12" x 2 1/2", a piece of cardboard
or foam measuring 8" x 11"
and a small self-adhesive hook. |
| Step One: Take the piece measuring 12" x 24". Fold it widthwise
and mark the spot for the embroidery. Unfold and embroider the design.
Felt doesn't have to be stabilized, but if you are using another fabric,
you might have to. |
|
| Step Two: Fold the workpiece widthwise and, using a washable
marker, draw a line 2" from the right edge and another line 2" from the
left edge. The lines are thick in the diagram. |
|
| Step Three: Unfold the working piece. Place the strips of colored
felt along the right and left edges of the felt rectangle, as shown on
the diagram. Fold along the dotted line. Machine-stitch along the lines
you marked in Step Two. |
|
| Step Four: With a pair of sharp scissors cut frills along both
edges, making sure you don't cut into the seams. |
|
| Step Five: Take the piece of cardboard or foam and attach the
adhesive hook about 4" from the bottom. Slide the cardboad as far as it
will go into the aperture at the bottom of the working piece. Make a small
cut in the felt where the hook is and pull the tip of the hoop out through
it. |
|
|
| Step Six: Attach a loop to the back side of the calendar holder.
Place the holder on the wall and hang a calendar from the hook.
Your Calendar Holder is ready. Enjoy!
