I made a Christmas piece for my door. It features the Bethlehem Star. I chose a dark blue background fabric with a flannel foundation layer. Cut 6x8 inches. The star was cut with the Sizzix Star and Starburst die from white felt. It was stitched along each of the points with white thread. The stars around were stitched with white thread as well. I tried to have a variety of sizes.
I used some eyelet lace and other lace to create the hills around the town. I put the building in the v shape where the hills met. I hand cut the buildings from grey felt and added yellow windows. I did highlight the building in white to help them stand out a bit more.
Again, the backer fabric was dark blue cut to 8x10 inches. Folded to the front and folded again and top stitched to create the frame. I added a hanger on the back of twill tape which I attached by hand.
