Felt Flowers for the Christmas Tree « Created Today. I am still stitching, stitching, stitching to try to make enough hand made felt Christmas Decorations to fill the tree.
And I’ve even started creating some of my own designs, including this little felt flower that is just so simple to make. Start by cutting out four petals. I cut the felt 4.5cm x 5cm, then trimmed the narrow edge to make a peak. It’s easiest to fold the two longer edges together and then trim to make the peak. Next step is to join each of these together with one long piece of thread. Pull this thread through to bring all of the petals together and create a flower.
Next cut a small circle to sit in the gap between the petals. You can cover this in little seed beads to create some sparkle. Finally sew this little circle onto the flower. The final step is to sew a loop on to the flower to hang it on the tree. Like this: Like Loading... FeltSewGood. Here is a "behind the scenes" look at my work space.
I don’t actually have a real studio space to work in. My husband and I both work out of our home, (he has a small home design and construction business) so we have to try to stay organized in order to not have our work take over the house! We do have one room set aside as an office, with desks, bookshelves, computer space, files etc. And I have a small table set up in a bedroom with my sewing machine. It's right by the window so I have a nice view of the backyard. This small walk-in closet is dedicated to my craft supplies. A couple of days a week I take over our antique dining room table to cut out new designs for my handbags, plush animals and accessories.
I’ve found it helps me stay organized and keep track of the proper supplies for each project if I spend a day or two a week just cutting out wool and lining fabric, and getting all my pieces pressed and ready to sew. It's fun to have a look into other crafter's work spaces! Tutorial: Felt Rosettes. Mar12th2010 I am in love with these sweet little things.
They are the most simple craft I’ve ever made and cost next to nothing (I think a sheet of felt at Michael’s is about 30 cents), but the finished product has such a big impact. So easy, even little kids and cavemen can do it. Supplies Craft feltScissorsGlue (craft or hot glue or whatever you have laying around the house) Cut smallish squares out of felt (smallish?
They fit in the palm of my hand. This is just to give you an idea of how to cut your felt… you don’t have to literally draw a swirly circle pattern thing on each square. After you cut out the swirly circle pattern thing, take the outside end of your felt circle (it’ll make sense once you’re there) and start rolling it up toward the center. Once you’re finished rolling the felt, dab a little glue to the remaining end and secure it to the bottom of the rosette. Some more swirly scrappy circle things ready to be rolled like a sleeping bag and magically glued into rosettes. DIY Mother's Day Corsage: Felt Dahlia Flower Brooch - Holidash News.
