TDITM ’25 Color Guide: Drummer Drumming

This is the palette I used for my eldest daughter’s Twelve Days set during my 2025 Twelve Days in Twelve Months challenge. Below are the detailed felt/floss color guides for you.

Benzie Design floss, sequins, and beads are an absolute joy to work with! They will be very happy to help you find what you need.
