Hello sweet readers of Lines Across My Face! I’m Kelly and I’m super excited that Rachel asked me to join in on the fun of this Craft Stash Bash! I blog over at Live Laugh Rowe, where I share DIY projects, recipes, life’s moments…. and I throw a fabulous par-tay every Thursday! I do hope you’ll swing by sometime. If not, that’s okay too. But, today, let’s do some crafting together!
I kinda {love} working with felt. How about you?
I’ve made felt birds, a felt tissue box cover and felt house ornaments…
Anywho, today, let’s make:
Felt Envelopes
>>> Repeat on the other side <<<
At this point, you could iron down your creases, or
you can wait till after your gluing is done. Totally up to you!
You will definitely want to iron the creases down though.
Okay, so if you’re thinking to yourself, “a glue gun wasn’t in the Supplies picture,” you’re right {smile}. How you seal your folds is optional — fabric glue, glue gun, stitch, etc. I chose the hot glue gun {a crafty girls best friend}!
Once you’ve glued the envelope closed — sew on a couple of buttons with your embroidery floss. After I finished sewing on my second button, I stitched a knot, then pulled the needle through between the button and the felt (not through a hole), so that it was still attached and could be used to wrap around the buttons for closure. It was practically impossible to capture that on camera, so I hope that makes sense. Once you’ve sewn on the buttons and your extra embroidery floss is in place for wrapping/closure, you’re DONE! Yay!
…and the sky is the limit.
Use for {love} notes.
Gift a lovely piece of jewelry.
Embellish the front with rolled flowers.
Make them Bigger -or- Make them Smaller.
Although I have a {love} for felt and crafting, I do
share so much more in my little corner of bloggy world.
How about swinging by for some cranberry scones and tea/coffee?
I’d be tickled silly if we could get a little better acquainted.
