Felt Aquarium Magnets

Felt Aquarium Magnets
When I was in the third grade my class took a field trip to Point Reyes, California to look at the tide pools. I was fascinated by them, each pool was like a small secret world. There were orange and purple sea stars, tiny little fish, and flower-like sea anemones. When I stuck my finger in an anemone's mouth it's sticky petal-like tentacles would close around it, thinking it was food (this probably isn't a nice thing to do to an anemone, but it certainly made an impression on me). My love for the ocean and all of its creatures has only grown in the subsequent years. I did some snorkeling in Hawaii and saw fish of every size, shape and color though the crystal clear water. When we decided to make a set of felt-covered magnets I knew I wanted to make an underwater scene. This underwater world makes a great gift for a child, or even an adult, who loves the ocean.

SongAhIn on deviantART How to Make a Fabric Postcard Party Invitation August 9th, 2013 Email 65 users recommend Quilt a fabric postcard in a snap, and then send it off in the mail. They make beautiful invitations! Diane Gilleland You can quilt along with the design printed on your fabric, as I've done here, or quilt an overall pattern. I mailed one to myself to see how it would hold up. Photo: Diane Gilleland When you're done quilting, turn the postcard over and apply a medium amount of craft glue to the back. At this point, you'll need a cardstock postcard of some kind to glue to the back. Your cardstock should measure 1/4 inch less on all sides than your fabric postcard-so for my sample, it measures 3-3/4 inches x 5-1/2 inches. Use your sewing machine to zigzag-stitch around all four edges of the cardstock. What about other embellishments? I'd recommend weighing your finished postcard on a postal scale, or asking someone at your local post office to do it. Add an address and postage, and your postcard is ready to mail.

How to :: Loopy Felt Flower by Sister Diane | If there ever was a classic instant-gratification craft, it’s the venerable felt flower. I was playing around one day, and stumbled upon this method for making an interesting zinnia-style design. Hope you like! First, you need some strips of felt. Fold a strip in half lengthwise. Then, cut a series of slits into the folded edge. Snip your way along about 6″ of the strip, and leave any excess attached for now. Now, thread up a sewing needle with about 18″ of doubled thread, and tie a secure knot in the end. (I should add: I’m using contrasting thread here for visibility. As you sew, pull on the thread to gather the strip. Take a couple little tack stitches through the end of the gathers to lock them in place. Now, fold the flower in half, matching the two ends as shown. Gently flatten the flower and adjust the gathers. Glue that felt circle to the back of the flower with tacky glue. ..And then, sew the button to the front of the flower, sewing through that felt circle you just glued on.

Citrus Coasters Ever since the weather turned warm, I've had visions of pink lemonade and iced tea with lime wedges dancing in my head. Summer also puts me in the mood to entertain so I thought it would be fun to have a set of coasters to match this citrus drink theme. I love to have a summer sewing project that is portable so I can take it with me to the beach! Felt is often my material of choice for portable projects since it's ideal for hand sewing. It's also great for making durable home items like these cheerful coasters. I love that each coaster is slightly different from the next due to the handsewing. Materials A Spring Felt BundleA Citrus Coaster Template, available for free download here, printed and cut outValdani Embroidery thread to match the colors of the felt bundle. Cutting For each coaster cut the felt as instructed on the template. 2 large colored circles for the peel and the backing8 colored segments (4 cut from each segment template)1 ecru circle for the pith Sewing

Julyhobby.com Felt Pattern fabric rosette tutorial Cut 12, 3 inch fabric circles Take one circle and fold it in half. Then in half again, so you have a 1/4 of a circle. With the single folded edge toward you and the double folded edge away from you stitch along the bottom 1/4 inch of your quarter circle. Stop with you needle down about half way or so. I overlap the quarter circle just a little bit, maybe a half inch. This picture is just showing you the outside edge of my overlap to give you an idea of what mine looks like. Here are all twelve of my quarter circles sewn together. Here's another view of the 12 pieces sewn up. At this point I start with one end of my "chain" and start spreading the quarter circles out and spiraling them on top of one another in a circular pattern. Here is my finished circle. Side view. Now just run some stitches around the center, approximately over your original stitches, but it doesn't have to be exact. Here's my attached clasp. Next up. Thread one end of your twine through the button. Dat dat da da!!! Enjoy!
