Its been a really long while (probably since high school days) that I've played with felt. Was reminded again of this craft (tks to elaine). It was good fun to be excite again over this craft. They are actually quite easy to make. All you need is some coloured felt, thread, needle and a good template :) Of course a little patience putting them together also helps but you can conveniently double up watching tv/soaps or even waiting at the airport longue!! hehe
Since its Xmas Season, made some gingerbread mans to be hung on the xmas tree as decorations. As you can tell they can make great xmas gifts too :)
The 'ball was rolling' and couldn't help myself from exploring other fun xmas decorative ideas. Though I confess there is one outstanding snowman yet to be made. Will get there soon - opps...maybe next year.
They are also great as a feature patch work on a favourite bag.
Poor M, couldn't say no when I asked her for a her favourite shopping bag. Fortunately this is a favourite character Totoro - so she finally gave in willingly!!
They also make great brooch pressies too!
opps, who's his brown friend?? Stay tuned for the next post! :)
