Felt Flower Pin Tutorial


Obviously I can't have enough felt flower pins in my wardrobe for this winter because I have come up with yet another felt flower tutorial. I can't help it, I love to add them to outfits in the winter for a little something extra. Hopefully you feel the same way too.

Supplies:
Hot glue gun
1/8 of a yard of three colors of felt
1" pin
Scissors
Pinking Shears
Needle & Thread
Printer


  1. Print out the pattern below. (Use the scale to make sure the print out is the correct size).

  2. Cut six of each size petal from the felt. I used three colors so I cut 6-large petals from one color, 6-medium petals from another and 6-small petals from the last. Cut one backer.

  3. Take all of your petals and organize them from large on the bottom to small on top.

  4. Pick up one set of petals and pinch them together at the end. Using your needle and thread, sew threw all the folded layers on the bottom of the petal. (I used a light thread color just for the sake of this tutorial so you can see what I was doing, however I would suggest using a color that blends/matches your felt). Repeat with the remaining petals.

     
  5. Gather the petal string tightly together and knot but do not cut the string. Turn over the flower and sew the two end petals together to form a circle.

  6. Using the pinking shears cut two strips of felt, one 10" long and the other 9" long. Try to cut the strips to be about 3/8" by 1/2" wide. Which ever piece of felt that you cut longer will be on the outside of the roll that is used for the center of the flower.

  7. Place the short strip on top of the long strip butting a side of the ends together. Using a light hand, hot glue the strips together.

  8. Starting with the end where both strips are even, start to wrap the strips into a roll. Periodically add a dab of hot glue to keep the roll together. When you get to the end hot glue the last piece in place to form a circle out of the strip of felt.

  9. Hot glue the flat side of the roll and glue it to the center of the flower.

  10. Turn the flower over and hot glue the pin to the back by sandwiching the pin between the back of the flower and the oval backer you cut in step #2.

Leather Earring Tutorial

Why should leather only be used for jackets, shoes and purses? Medium weight or upholstery leather is easy to craft since it doesn't fray or crinkle. These leather earrings are quick, versatile and easy to make. You can even recycle those old purses or jackets that have damage since you really only need small amounts of good leather. I used 4" square leather samples and had plenty left over to make more earrings. Supplies: Leather Leather punch (I bought mine at Michaels Craft store for around $10 but you can also get the from home stores like Home Depot or Lowes) Sharp scissors 2-Large Jump Rings 2-Earring wires Jewelry pliers Download the pattern below, print and cut out shapes. Cut 2-of each shape in the leather of your choice. I used 3 different types of leather, don't be afraid to mix it up. Pile one set of the three shapes on top of each other and carefully punch a whole on one of the ends. I punched the hole about a quarter of an inch away from the end using the sma

Washer Necklace Tutorial

Every time I buy furniture that requires assembly I always left over hardware. I take this hardware and put it in a jar thinking that one day I will need that extra nut or bolt. Well today is that day! Below is a tutorial on how to take those extra washers and make them into a cute necklace. Supplies: Scissors X-acto knife or hole punch Pencil Small piece of scrapbooking paper (you can use the left over scraps for this project) Modge Podge (or something similar) Washer Aleene’s Paper Glaze 36” of ribbon or cord Use the washer to trace a circle on the paper, don’t forget to trace the inside circle as well. Using your scissors cut just inside of the traced line on the outer circle. Note: you want to cut inside of the line and not on it so it fits on the washer and does not overlap the edges. If the hole for your center is close to the same size of a hole punch, simply punch out the center circle. If not use the X-acto knife to cut out the center area. Modge Podge the paper to the washer
