felt ornaments

I went a little crazy making some fun felt ornaments this year. I used this free pattern and tutorial-and they were so fun to embellish! Besides the smelly fabric glue headache, of course. I used a wool felt blend-I get mine here. I added some cool trims and such I had lying around. In hindsight, I probably should have stuffed them a bit more...but … [Read more...]
