Love To-Go - happy little things: DIY: Felt Clutch "I love..." Hello there gorgeous!
Today the blog is all about making your own "I love.. " felt clutch. I love making bags, clutches and tote bags (I'm selling those tote bags in my little etsy shop - just around the corner). And I can't believe I never shared a "how to make a ______bag" tutorial with you and I am excited that it is happening today!

" Since there's some Irish in my blood, I decided to continue the St. Mouse Bookmark. Here is a sweet little mouse bookmark with a long and useful tail!
This one is made out of felt and sewn, but if you're doing the project with young children, you can glue the felt pieces together or use card stock or construction paper.

Wool Spiral Blossoms (Needlefelted Embellishments) This is a perfect project for using up pretty bits of yarn.
I love to make them with handspun and/or single ply, but they would work well with plied wool yarn as well. Attach a bobby pin or hair elastic for a one of a kind hair decoration. Or add a brooch pin, even stitch them right to your finished garment for a sweet embellishment. Stitch a piece of wool felt to the back for stability and you have a pretty button! Materials:Various scraps of WOOL yarn in desired colours ScissorsFelting needle (any size, I prefer 38 stars)Hair elastics, bobby pins, brooch pins or button shafts as you chooseembroidery floss or thread for finishinggreen roving and felting mat if you intend to make leaves OR green commercial felt Instructions :1) Choose a length of yarn (length will depend on size of blossom in mind). 18" will make a quarter sized blossom. 2) Using your felting needle, slide it carefully into the side of your spiral. 3) Continue to wind and tack until your spiral reaches the desired size.
