Vintage style felt flower brooches or key rings

The instructions for making felt flower brooches and key rings was in the " Patchwork and Quilting " magazine ages ago

I wish I knew the date but I can't see it on the pages I tore out and kept

My craft cupboard is now full up ! Dec 2011

My blog is now one year old.  Happy birthday blog  :-)

Thank you all for looking at my projects for the last year

I think my blog has become boring but it has been fun to do 

What would make my blog more interesting ?

Love at first sight for my needlefelted Turtle Pincushions

My Turtle is called OUCH  That is what he said when I stuck pins in him ! 

 His sparkly girlfriend is called BLING  as she likes to look girly

  

I enjoyed making these two needlefelted Turtle pincushions last year and will make a few more when I get the time....

Tiny felt pigs. Fridge magnets or brooches or maybe both !

I found this sweet pig pattern in a children's library book. I will probably make them into fridge magnets or brooches.

How to make quick and easy felt flowers

These are very basic flowers that can be used to decorate many projects.
Cut a strip of felt and clip along edge.  Cut out a circle of felt

Put a big blob of glue on the felt circle. ( I used fast drying UHU which dries quite quickly )  Fold the fringed piece in half then roll up uncut edge tightly   

Gently press uncut edge onto the felt circle.  Leave to set for 10 to 15 minutes. (While you are making more ! )  Seperate petals when the glue has dried

Where they are firmly fixed to the base circle they are easy to attach to anything. Add centres to them or add leaves.  Have fun personalising them....enjoy !

My poor Felt Teddy hasn't got a body yet
