TIPsy Tuesday - Making Felt Embellishments

Felt shapes are very popular in scrapbooking embellishments.   You can do your own with your die cutter or punches and a needle and thread.

Here is how I did the little mitten:

I cut the mitten with the Cricut (using SCAL software but you could cut any image using a cartridge)

Then I took the negative space and used that as a pattern to draw my mitten on felt.  I flipped the pattern and the felt over drawing and cutting from the back side.





I cut it out with scissors and whip stitched around the edges.



It's easy to cut out your own felt shapes just use your die cutter to make a pattern for you.  I found the negative image to make the best pattern.  It is easier to trace inside an image rather than around the edge.
