TWO YEARS CELEBRATION

Time surely flies by since the very 1st blogpost

Felt Love...Felt Beautiful...FELTastic
That was back in November 2010
I was experimenting my first wet felting project,
BIG HEART BIB NECKLACE 

Since then, I just can't stop felting more & more
One of the greatest achievement was being TOP 11 Worldwide Overall
in the 2011 Fashion By Feelings competition organized by The Woolmark Company.

Thank you to my lovely kids, family & friends!
They are my inspirations to create!

Thank you to all supporters!
 It's so thrilled to have 170 Facebook fans +
over 5600 blog pageviews from six different continents around the world!
Your support really motivate me to create more new designs!

I really hope to promote this ancient handicraft to more people
I love to offer DEMO at roadshows which I can show people how fun felting is!

I also try to make it more easily accessible too!
This is how I start the FELTasticFun Needle Felting & Wet Felting DIY kits.
More than 200 DIY kits are picked up by new felters at several ON & NS yarn retail shops.
I will continue to explore the wholesale/retail market opportunities.
That way I can promote this amazing craft to more people.

Please feel free to refer my creation to anyone.
I would be very much appreciated!
I always welcome feedback & suggestion.
There are lots of room of improvement for sure!

For those who has been following my blog, back in July 2011,

I needle felted a 3D palm-size sculpture with this two cute little cats 

This time, I received a request to make them into FELTasticCharms!

Nilo is no longer a little kitty as seen in the photo that's taken 1.5 years ago.

Time flies really fast indeed!

FELTasticApplique MINI X GT

As per request from my dear husband

who are big fan of driving his own MINI Cooper S + GT Gran Turismo on PS3

I got a few really nice pair of Touch Screen Gloves.

Conductive material woven into the tips of the gloves

allows touchscreen devices to work whilst wearing gloves.

I apply the felting applique technique to Personalize It.

Love the results & can't wait to work on more.

Customized services are available!

I was playing around with the upcoming craft shows setting,

Lovin' It!

CHRISTMAS IN THE AIR

Totally feeling Christmas is approaching !!

We had a wonderful mom+daughter (+cousin) girls trip to Halifax

 to enjoy French bakery, craft show & Christmas parade!

We started off at The Hydrostone Market (circa 1918)

with yummy treats at Julien's Bakery;

then found a beautiful steel dummy display at Lady Luck Boutique & Hydrostone Gallery

just perfect to hang all my wool charms;

after visited Bogside Gallery a few doors away to have a preview of many great art works;

and of course dropped by LK Yarns too!

Some history about Hydrostone click here

Later we spend a good walk from The Loop Craft Cafe 

after dropping off additional FELTasticFun DIY kits (SOCK MONKEY!!!), 

then Halifax Waterfront, Seaport, & later arrived Pier 23 

to check out many amazing artworks done by NSDCC members.

My 3.5YR princess was so excited to see a painter in action as well as many other DEMO!

The Christmas Parade was 1.5-hr long

but thanks to Canada Post taking letters to Santa!

Colorful Fall leaves are all over the ground.
It's a special season to celebrate Harvest & Thanksgiving!

FELTasticDisplay

Just love my new DIY display unit for my lovely wool owl necklaces.

It seems they are resting very comfy up on the tree!

This wooden tree cut out was backed with a thick & hard commercial felt.

So, the necklaces can stay on,

but still easy to remove when customer wants to take them home.

HOW TO ?

1) Get a ready-cut out unit (originally a photo display) and thick & hard commercial felt

Make sure all holes are covered & cut the felt according to the display size

2) Attached the felt to the display at the back & cut lines within the holes

3) Use a paper clip to help insert the necklaces through the holes

4) Adjust & ready to go to the craft show!

+ Very attractive display unit for myself at home too!

Want a piece of this FELTasticDisplay too?

E-mail me & I can custom made one for you too!

...while supply last...

FELTasticStocking

Here's my very first handmade Christmas Stocking!

I have applied Needle Felt Applique to felt Merino wool onto the commerical felt by hand +

Machine Sewing to attaching commercial felt, fabric lining, cotton eyelet & polyester ribbons

This one took me over 3 hours from start to finish. 

I think I will work on some simple versions for the upcoming craft shows.

Custom order always welcome.

If you like to DIY, check out the following step-by-step instruction:

HOW TO ?

1) Needle felt applique on the cut-out "stocking"-shaped commercial felt

2) Cut out matching fabric linings

The red exterior (back) lining is an inch longer at the top than the interior black lining

3) Fold the longer red lining inward near the top & hold both linings together with pin
Machine sew the red & black linings together

4) Machine sew the cotton lace ribbon (either ends only) on the applique felted piece

5) Flip the back side of the applique felted piece on top
with the exterior lining (red) in the middle & the interior lining (black) at the bottom

6) Machine sew all 3 pieces together

with the exterior lining (red) in the middle & the interior lining (black) at the bottom

7) Machine sew the polyester ribbon near the top 

8) Fold about 1 inch outward & pin to secure & machine sew around the top

9) Flip inside out & needle felt to attach the cotton lace & commercial felt together

10) Now...Ready for Christmas Stocking!!
