Hello everyone!
I'm planning to make a cross-stitch / fabric / felt advent calendar. I want to make little pouches of felt on a fabric background and put little cross-stitched ornaments (star, stocking, santa, tree, etc) into the pockets. What would be the best way of attaching the ornaments to the outside of the pockets each day?
One idea is to have a small round of velcro on the outside of the pocket and on the back of the ornament. But I feel the little velcro circle (however much camouflaged with metallic thread) would spoil the appearance of those pockets which are still unopened.
A friend suggested that I have removable openings, again with velcro holding the flap in place. But again, there would be unsightly bits of velcro at the four corners of the opening.
Any suggestions? Thank you.
Shanti.
