playing with felt
I’ve recently started working with felt squares & fabric. I love the no-fray & easy-to-handle nature of it - of course, the fact that it also comes in pink polka-dots & sparkles is a bonus too!
This is a series of cards I’ve been working on, using felt, embroidery floss & buttons:
I wanted to play with a quilted look so I used long running stitches to embroidery two of the cards. I liked the look of the pinked edges (even though felt doesn’t fray - pinking is still a great decorative elements) For the middle card I decided to get a little ambitious… I pulled out my silk embroidery ribbon and started making french knots.
I made french knots…
And more french knots…
But, I like the look of the little knots! I think next time I would mark out an even border all the way around instead of going free-hand.
After I was happy with the embroidery, I used a good quality white glue to attach the felt hearts & motifs to plain, blank cards (available from most craft stores) I would personally recommend using a glue like goop to attach buttons to the card…
Just a reminder, all of my projects are original designs and cannot be reproduced for sale or otherwise without my express written permission :-)
