Wool Debit Card Holder

I love this cute holder. I had to make it because my wallet keeps de-magnetizing my card - this is my third in two years....so I decided to make a separate case for it....and of course it had to be red wool with felt details. It only took about 30 minutes to make and by using Fabric Fusion to glue on the details on I know they won't come off.

It was super easy - just sew a pouch from wool or felt, sew a button to a felt round, cut out some leaves then glue everything in place. I like the added touch of stitching around the opening. So easy and so cute....Hope you like it.

Cute Cupcake Ornaments

Sorry - this is alittle blurry - I am getting used to a new camera.....I had to make a quick gift for some lady friends of mine so I decided to make these cute cupcake ornaments.
I got this cute cupcake stand at Target - just had to have it - it's red.....couldn't resist and I just love how the ornaments look on it. Here is a closeup of the cupcake. I rolled ribbing from a sweater for the base then added a gathered and stuffed circle for the top. A thin strip of sweater was rolled for the cherry then added a few felt leaves. A few beads sewn on were the finishing touch. Everyone loved their ornament - they said they were cute enough to eat......

This is a view from the top - ready to be wrapped. Let me know how you like them and if you would like more detailed instructions. Wish I had made one for myself - maybe next year!

Wrapped Up Wreaths for Christmas

Wanted to show you what I have been up to lately. I just love both of these Christmas wreathes. Old sweaters were cut up and wrapped around foam wreaths. On one I added wool fabric leaves and rolled sweater berries. On the other I used the ribbing from the sweater and felt snowflakes I picked up in the $1 section of Joann's. Felt holly ribbon was cut apart for the leaves. Everything was glued with Fabric Fusion adhesive and once dry were ready to hang. These were for a local store - I just hope I have time to create some for myself. Let me know what you think and if you would like more detailed instructions.

M-I-C-K-E-Y Coasters

Aren't these great? My sister and I went to Disneyland last weekend - had a great time on all the rides - but the best part is going through all the stores.....I found a box of dominoes and just had to have them - I don't even play dominoes so had to come with another reason to get them....I decided to make coasters. I just happen to have the perfect glass to accompany them....don't you think?

Here they are out of the box - so cute! Now I have to figure out what to do with the box.....any ideas? Here's how I made them.....

Place pieces on a non-stick sheet or shiny side of freezer paper for easy release, just in case some glue may seep through. Assemble pieces as desired - I used eight for each coaster - with amount of dominoes in the case I could make three large ones with 8 pieces or four smaller with 6 each. I opted for the larger size - with three left over for future use.

Place sections together. Lift up one domino then apply a very thin bead of Liquid Fusion Glue only along edges where it touches another. Press together. Repeat with remaining pieces. Any glue that shows can be carefully wiped off with a damp paper towel. Let dry overnight.

Now that the coasters have dried overnight, cut a piece of black felt slightly smaller then use Liquid Fusion to glue in place. Let dry then they are ready for action.

Hope you like them as much as I.....
