Letter 'R' tote bag

It was my friend's birthday at the weekend and I couldn't find anything to get her so I decided to decorate a plain tote bag that I'd got from Hobby Craft. The bag looked a bit boring with just the letter on it so I put some buttons on the letter and also at the bottom of the straps.

 

  

She loved the bag and used it to carry all her other presents home! I've got 2 more plain bags to decorate so watch this space to see what I do with them!

Advent calendar - 3 December

The 3 December is another parcel day and felt decoration....

A little Christmas tree made of felt and buttons. You'll have to wait and see what day she'll get the other trees.

Easter cards

My Easter crafts started a bit late this year (I made my cards a couple of days before!) Only managed to create one card using felt...

The basket is made out of one piece of felt with pink ribbon threaded through it. I cut the eggs out of green card and on the middle egg I layered some pink mesh paper over the top. The letters are from a sheet of letter transfers.

This Easter card doesn't include any felt but I love the dotty paper! The egg is made out of recycled card with dotty paper covering it. I then wrapped some ribbon around the egg and stuck a button in the middle.

The Felt House - etsy shop

I've finally opened my etsy shop! I've launched it with 3 different versions of my flower card, blue, purple and pink (the orange is coming soon).

Hopefully I'll get time to work on some more colour versions this week, or maybe even an easter version. I can't wait for my first sale!

Felt letter decoration

This week I've been making this cute felt decoration for the nursery of my friend's new baby.

I started by cutting 2 letter 'A's out of the felt and arranging the buttons on the pieces before stitching them on. There are buttons sewn on both of the 'A' parts so it's reversible. I used a spare bit of pink ribbon for the hanger. The 2 parts were attached together by blanking stiching with white thread around the edges. I stuffed the different sections as they were stitched together rather than doing it all at the end.
