The other day at work I was checking out either Crafts magazine or the Better Homes and Garden Holiday Project issue, I'm not sure which one. This will be verified by tomorrow so that the proper credit is given. Anyways, there were a few felt ideas and one was a pine cone type of decoration made of blue and white felt. This got me thinking and inspired me to come up with my own version. Fall is fast approaching and since this idea came about I figured why not!
The shape was achieved by stuffing some fiberfill in an a knee high nylon that had a run in it. The next step was to cut petal shape pieces of felt and sew them to it. Since felt is a favorite material of mine there were plenty of scraps to use.
It turned out well but now I need to figure out how to display it or if there should be a few more. If there was more they could be tied together with others in varying sizes and possibly in solid colors instead of mixed. We'll see!
Late breaking idea! This may work as a dog toy, will test it on my mom's dog or put a bell in the middle and it could be for a cat!
