Wowww.... your flowers are very very pretty and colourful :mf::mf:

[craftynclothy]

They are lovely. I keep wanting to make something similar to those. Can I ask you, do you use a die cutter? and if so, which one?

Can I ask you, where do you buy wool felt from?? :sm:

[SNOWF1975]

Those are beautiful and TOTALLY my kind of thing! Do you sew them together and then sew them onto a brooch pin? really beautiful!

hello snowf1975, yes first i sew the felt together and then i sew safety pin on to the brooch...:)

[UrbanAngelJewellery]

HI Sunshine Im embaressed to say this but it was ebay :o I hate using that site but couldnt find it anywhere else :)

[Poppy4lee]

They really are gorgeous, the colours compliment each other beautifully :D

[SNOWF1975]

what about Hobbycraft? you'll get felt there. :)

Abakhan (http://www.abakhan-onlineshop.co.uk/acatalog/copy_of_Felt_Squares.html) have a wide range of felt - pieces plain, patterned, glitter and self-adhesive and plain felt by the metre.

(catalogue currently suspended for software update)

Thanks, ElaineJ :)

[Aviya Glass]

Absolutely gorgeous and very now! xx

[two hoots]

I agree with elainej, abakhan is a good source for felt, they sometimes do a bargin bag full for I think £2. I got most of my stash of felt that way and most of it was the better quality thicker felt, although I would not be able to say for sure that it was wool felt.

Hello crafters...
could anyone explain to me this: its about felt....

30% wool, 70% man-made??

and

30% Wool with Blended Viscose??

Thanks............:)

[missyq]

wow!!! all of them are just awesome..

[Autumn Faerie]

My DH brought me home some felt off-cuts from work & had a load of gorgeous colours, so I thought I'd make some too, although not being a sewer, I cut mine on my Cuttlebug & put a brad through the middle, I did have to sew it to the safety pin though!

Here's a piccie of one of them on my DD's coat, she got loads of compliments on it at school, I need to get some more safety pins & will do some more.

Thanks for the idea Sunshine & Urban Angel

[sunshine]

Beautiful work Autumn Faerie, :mf:

[Altered Angel]

They look lovely!

[Moonbeam Angel]

WOW cant say more than that!!!

[Autumn Faerie]

Aww thanks, I was pleased with the results, & they certainly brighten up her black coat, but like i say I did cheat a bit, doing them on the cuttlebug :p

[SNOWF1975]

Well, i tried some felt flowers. And they turned out really CRAP!! ha ha. My shapes were rubbish! What does everyone else use? Do you have a stencil of some kind?

[Blooming Felt]

HI Sunshine Im embaressed to say this but it was ebay :o I hate using that site but couldn't find it anywhere else :)

:o You should be ashamed of yourself !!! What about buying from my little website :) I only sell 100% wool felt and none of that horrible thin craft felt that is made up of only 30% wool and 70% other stuff. How they can call that wool felt I'll never know !

My felt measures approximately 4mm thick and goes through most die cutting machines. Or, if you can't be bothered to make your own felt flowers, buy some (http://www.bloomingfelt.co.uk/felt-flowers-62-c.asp) - these are my most popular selling item at the moment !

[SNOWF1975]

Sarah! Iv just had a look at your site and its brill!!! The felt flowers a great too and iv ordered some. And the buttons are wonderful!!!

Are you arty? Dont suppose you could make me a stencil for making some felt flowers ???? :confused::D

Hiya !

Thanks for your lovely kind words. I saw that you ordered some felt flowers ... thank you ! I won't be able to get to the PO today, but they'll be on their way to you on Monday.

Sadly I can't make up stencils - not arty at all !! I'm sure if you googled flower stencil images, you'd be able to find something that you could download? :)

[UrbanAngelJewellery]

I am now publicly ashamed of my ebayness and would ask to be forgiven and not ousted from the community xx:D

Your site is now in my favourites thank you

You are completely forgiven !! :D and thank you for adding me to your favs !

[yandii]

Ooh they're amazing. You're good, really. I used to make this before using felts but yours are really.. hmm.. awesome. :D Well, I loved the black and white one with green at the center. You can put up a business or something that will help you.. it's fun and pretty, though. :D

[rosieandhim]

Lovely, would love to have a bash at something similar for my cards, this forum gives you endless ideas. Thanks. :0).xx

[Cosette Nkruma]

hi friends,

I would suggest making cardboard patterns for all the different sizes, then stack several layers of felt, and use a rotary cutter.

[sandyewillson]

Wow ...that flowers are really beautiful ... I'm really interested in making felt flowers..Can you help me ?

[williamsjanet]

Hey these are really gorgeous. You have extra ordinary talent. I like the white orange combination most. Really very nice!!!!
