Christmas Tag Booklet

December 21, 2020 by Heather Holbrook

Christmas Tag Booklet

Shari put together several large tags to create this wonderful little Tag Booklet. The front has a window opening surround by a die cut and embellished wreath, the pages are made from pattern papers and it’s held closed by a “belly band” of paper and ribbon. It’s a nice small size to fill with a few photos from the Holidays and would be a sweet gift to give.

Visit the Simon Says Stamp blog for a video tutorial.

Wet Felted Scarf Tutorial by Natasha Smart Textiles

If you’ve ever wanted to make a wearable piece of art, Natasha Smart’s Wet Felted Scarf Tutorial on YouTube is a must-watch. This isn’t your average wool scarf — it’s a tactile, flowing creation that perfectly blends texture, color, and craftsmanship. Natasha has a way of making felting feel accessible, and her calm, clear teaching style makes you believe you can absolutely do this (even if your felting skills are still “enthusiastic beginner”).

In this video, Natasha walks you through the entire process of creating a lightweight, drapey felted scarf, from selecting your fibers to rolling and fulling the fabric to perfection. She covers layering techniques for both color blending and structural strength, explaining how to create a scarf that’s soft enough to wear but sturdy enough to last. The camera angles are excellent — you can actually see what’s happening at each step — and her pacing feels natural and encouraging.

What really stands out is Natasha’s understanding of fabric flow. She doesn’t rush the felting, allowing time for the wool to mesh and bond, resulting in a beautifully organic texture that still moves gracefully. She also shares little pro tips along the way — like adjusting moisture levels, choosing the right soap, and rolling direction — that make a big difference in the finished result.

A few takeaways if you plan to make your own:

  • Use fine merino wool for the softest drape. 
  • If you’re adding silk or yarn embellishments, Natasha shows exactly how to integrate them without bulk. 
  • Keep a towel handy — felting is wonderfully messy! 

The finished scarf has that signature “Natasha Smart” look: natural, fluid, and textured with hints of sheen from the fibers. It’s not just wearable — it’s a statement piece that looks straight out of a boutique gallery.

Whether you’re a beginner learning to felt or an experienced fiber artist seeking inspiration, this tutorial is an absolute treat. It’s clear, creative, and filled with practical tips you’ll use again and again.
