I decided that my Christmas forest needed vegetation. I settled on felt flowers, but I wanted real felt, not just the thin stuff at the craft store. I headed to the local thrift store and looked for sweaters made from animal hair, specifically wool. I came across a bright red one that was partially angora, (which is perhaps the softest of all the animal fibers) a green wool men's sweater and a blue plaid skirt. I immediately put them in the washer, turned it to hot and my felt was made. Below is the outcome.
Materials:
* 4 Felt Circles
* Needle and Thread
Fold 1 circle in half, then in half again. Then, pull thread through the corner created by the folds. Repeat the same process for the remaining circles. Finally, go back through the original circle, tie a knot and break the thread.
As a side note, I'm thinking that at some point I will turn these into a garland.
