Needle Felt Easter Bunny

Hi everyone! A very happy new year to you all!
This has been my very first need felt project of 2014, a needle felted Easter Bunny. I made little easter egg basket, which you can see in the picture, but decided not to attach it as I think I might make a little daffodil for him to hold instead.


Anyway, sorry for the terrible quality of the picture, my phone does not have the best camera.

Wet Felted Pouch.

Ok so here is the pouch that I made by Wet felting. I made it bigger than my template so that once it had dried, I cut it down to size and then stitched it using embroidery thread. I used a little bit of spare felt to make the button.

My sewing leaves a lot to be desired, but I was very happy with the outcome, and my cousin loved it too!

Wet Felting!

I have had an idea for a Christmas gift, I want to make a Tobacco Purse for my Cousin, and thought it would be great to felt one! However that would involve wet felting, which I have never done before & have no idea how to do!

So I've been busy 'Googling' and have just found a really great tutorial on wet felting. There is a video showing how to make a felted flower (I might have to have a go at making some of those too!) It looks great, and so I thought I would share it here with y'all. Follow this link to see the video; Wet Felting Flower.

(Another) Needle Felt Santa!

I've been using cushion stuffing for the core of most of my projects, simply because I have loads & am trying to use it all up. Anyway, there are loads of curly bits inside and I thought I'd have a go at using them for a Santa Beard, so I made another Santa!

He is much bigger than my previous Santa decoration, so maybe not good for hanging on a tree, but he looks good as a standalone decoration.

Needle Felt Purple Fairy Princess.

I made this one to hang in my daughters bedroom. This was a much quicker project, as you will notice, she has no arms. Oops!

Needle Felt Christmas Tree Top Fairy

I made this to go on top of the tree, I used a paper cone inside the skirt -which to be honest, was a bit of a mistake. Well, not the cone itself, but the way I did it - I have learned a lot should I do it again! I didn't leave myself a lot of room round her middle to be able to felt her skirt. I'm afraid that she may fall apart any moment, ha ha. She looks nice though, I like the colors.

Needle Felt Festive Fairy.

I had a dabble this weekend at making some more fairy's, and even a Christmas tree topper. This was the first fairy I did, I mostly wanted to practice making the arms from Pipe cleaners, as my previous attempts have been ok, but not great - I find wrapping the ends of the hands a bit fiddly, but she came out ok.
