I love homemade decorations for the holidays, but I’m a little challenged when it comes to execution. I can’t sew very well, so one of my favorite tricks is to use good old fashioned felt—and there’s no better time than the holidays to try your hand at festive red felt crafts!

Here are a few ideas to get you started:

Red Felt Placemats from Real Simple

Red Felt Pillows from Better Homes & Gardens

Felt Star Table Settings from All About You

Red Felt Memory Box from Country Living

A few weeks ago, we featured adorable pop-up placemats from Hello Hannah, and now we’ve found the perfect personalized plates to match!

Alphabet Plates are an adorable way to turn snacktime into playtime. You can personalize them with food, sports equipment, monograms or my personal favorite—your child’s smiling face!

It literally took two minutes and I love how cute they are! I think they might make perfect gifts for all of my friends who have little ones to feed. What do you think?

With Halloween quickly approaching and Thanksgiving following closely on its heels, now is the perfect time to put the finishing touches on your fall home décor.

Wreaths have been a style staple for the fall and winter months, with designs ranging from crisp autumn leaves to fragrant pines, but we’ve never seen anything as fresh and luxurious as these monogrammed wreaths from Design*Sponge.

The best part about this modern twist on a classic wreath is that you can make it yourself using vine garland, balling wire and your favorite flowers or leaves! To learn more, visit Design*Sponge for all of the details.
