I think I may have mentioned my love of inexpensive craft felt before, but I’ll say it again, I love this stuff!!! As I was checking in with some of my favorite blogs this week I saw these adorable felt hair clippies on Treasure for Tots and was dying to give them a try. FYI, hair clips are on sale this week at Hobby Lobby, I got regular sized ones and extra large one.
I ended up just experimenting with the larger ones, my embroidery skills are very basic and having a bit more space to work on made it easier. This is a little, quick project and bonus, I had all the supplies on hand except for the clippies! Note the squares on my cutting mat are 1” to give you an idea of the size of these things, I think one will be enough hair decoration.
Okay, the clippie on the top center, with the sequined sugar skull may be a bit much, but I got the idea in my head and had to see it through!
I really like the purple one and it perfectly matches one of Little Miss’s sweaters, so yay! I have also used felt to cover other things, like bottle cap pin cushions and fabric tape measures, can you tell I was going for a Halloween theme? I would like to make little sets that include a pin cushion, tape measure, and needle book, it’s on the never ending list.
The real question is what else can I cover with felt and primitive embroidery? any suggestions would be appreciated :)
