TDITM ’26 Color Guide: Drummer Drumming

This is the palette I used for my youngest daughter’s Twelve Days set during my 2026 Twelve Days in Twelve Months challenge. Below are the detailed felt/floss color guides for you.

First, some handy links to get you started:
To buy the pattern: mmmcrafts.etsy.com
To buy the felt colors you see below: Benzie Design, and search the colors by name. You’ll see an option to add matching floss. (Benzie also carries many of the notions and tools you need.)

OTHER NOTIONS:
I used fancy Diamond L’Elegance toothpicks for the drum sticks and painted them red with a Posca marker. See the toothpicks here. I added Benzie 4 mm silver sequins behind the French knots on the drum. And, of course, the Benzie metallic silver straps.

I hope this color guide was helpful! Love to see what you make. Tag @mmmcrafts and #twelvedaysornaments on Instagram.
