The Felt Holiday Star is the third pattern in my Holiday Star series, the first two being crochet and knit versions. Shine bright my crafty fam!
Change up the colors to fit your décor or holiday theme. You can even make a bunch and hang them across a doorway or up stair railings. Of course, the Holiday Star also makes a lovely doorknob hanger. It’s also perfect for dorm rooms or other small areas where a tree isn’t workable, but you still want some festivity.
