When you think of felt, what comes to mind? A fuzzy craft material? Probably, but felt doesn't have to look like felt after all. What if we told you that you could make dishes and vegetable gardens with felt? Felt is far from ordinary with these DIY projects. Also, don't forget to check out the Felt Crafts category in the Craftys, sponsored by our friends at The Felt Store. Now, for the most-felted fun around...DIY felt projects!
What a cool, crafty way to learn! Craftys nominee LittleFruits brings an educational angle to felting with this
felt vegetable garden. With a white picket fence and a variety of vegetables, this learning tool allows children to pull the vegetables out of the felt dirt and get a hands-on experience with a makeshift garden. Check out the other cool felt products by
LittleFruits, and vote for this gorgeous garden
in the Craftys this year.
For a project that's original and functional, try making your own
felt stitch bowl via a PDF tutorial, purchasable from Etsy shop
rosepinkStudio. This PDF tutorial shows you the different stitching and felting techniques essential to making your bowl, but just think...you can use these invaluable skills for other felt projects in the future because once you start felting you just can't stop.
For a vibrant and graphic pillow that looks like it just came off the shelf, this
