Playing With Felt
Jan 27, 2011 by Violet
Some of the things I made for people this Christmas were felt because I’ve been having a lot of fun trying new designs with it. So here are a couple of things I made and quick instructions on how I did them.
This felt flower was quite simple but looks really pretty when worn ^_^

| Start off with a long rectangle, cut slits in like this:

Turn the slits into petals and cut chunks out of the bottom …

With a needle and thread run through each of the bumps once…

Pull together and form a circle. Tie off ^_^

String in some pearls and add a hair clip on the back, finished!

Another hair clip/brooch/whatever. Simply done, cut out all the pieces…

Stitch together then add something to the back to attach it… done :D

Lastly a very special pen case! Measure the pens and cut out around them, don’t forget the flap too!

Cut out a top piece…

Stitch up the sides and cut slits for the closure…

Add some hearts and a ribbon and it’s done!

Do you guys prefer made or bought presents? |
These are adorable! Felt crafts are so versatile and cheap,what’s not to love?
I completely agree :D

Thanks Claudia!

These are adorable! Especially the deer brooch! that’s just too cuuuute. I love his giant eyes.
:D I love him too!
I like made presents! But my friends are generally too lazy (as am I) ;] The little pink and blue brooch thing is my favourite. I love that colour combination. =D

:D Thanks Andi! I freaking love those colours together too. I like to make presents but if I had more money I think I would probably just buy more of them haha!
What’s the animal on the second one?! Chihuahua?! or Bambi?! It’s so cute!! I do love made presents! I’d really appreciate for the person’s time and effort:)
Bambi :D Aww you are the perfect person to make presents for ^_^
When you make present it become special. One of the kind. I think it Chihuahua on the second decoration :) It’s adorable :)
It’s a little deer on the second one XD Either way a Chihuahua sounds cute too haha! I agree with you about presents <3
The brooch thingy is so adorable! I love handmade presents. They’re much more meaningful. :)
PS Came across your blog when I googled for nail polish stuff. Just spent the last few days reading all your posts! Pure awesomeness girl! :D
Aww!! Thanks for reading Caitlyn :D I’m very glad you’ve found some useful stuff here!
You have officially made me want to get out my stash of felt for my next crafting session :D
Dooo it!
I usually prefer bought presents but I’d probably prefer hand made ones if they came from someone as talented as you ((:
I have the same felt tips ^____^ I love the mini version, they look so cute <3
Love you Violet, your blog is amazing :]
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Haha that’s very sweet of you to say! Thank you so much!
ohhhh i LOVE the flower! so adorable!
:D Thanks Krissy!
wooow, this things are awsome! I think thak I will steal your idea for Star of Bethlehem (is it name of this plant? I literally translate it from polish name of this flower, but I’m not shure is it good in english ^^’). Every year we have the same red & silver christmass tree. And every year all of our cats are breaking a lot of baubles. So i decided to make some of this flowers (+ribbons) for our next year chrismass tree ^^
Of course I prefer made presents! They are much more personal I thing ^^ And original of course~
Luv ya~ ^^
I have no idea what the name of the plant is but that sounds like a really cute idea! I hope it works well :D
These are all just lovely!
Thanks lovely <3
I must try this as I have a felt and faux pearls strewn about my craft door at this very moment! Thanks for the tutorial :-)
Glad you enjoyed it!
