Holly Dolly Dangle Christmas Decoration 2

I've take inspiration for my Holly Dolly Dangle Decoration from a pattern from a 1940s magazine showing you how to cheer up your outfit with a “Pin on Girl” using fabric and wool scraps to make a pretty girl for your lapel and turned her into a festive decoration !
This festive Holly Dolly dangle Christmas decoration is made from vintage style Christmas fabric with felt holly leaves and tiny metal bells, she has an embroidered face and needle felted hair ,she has a ribbon loop for displaying .

A modern twist on a 1940s make do and mend idea when clothing was scarce and jewellery was expensive many women turned to homemade fripperies, button necklaces , electrical wire brooches etc and using odds and end of fabrics to make jewellery.
