Flannel is so cozy this time of year. Here are five flannel crafts that will make you feel like hunkering down for the winter: coasters, a candle holder, hand warmers, mug sleeves and a decorative pumpkin.
I love the idea of arranging these on a pretty tray and giving them as a unique Fall hostess gift. But, you’ll definitely want to make an extra set for yourself!
I bought flannel material for these crafts. But, you could re-purpose a couple old flannel shirts to save yourself a trip to the fabric store.
