FELT CAR MAT

This project has been on my "to craft list" for a very long time. When my daughter showed an obsession for matchbox cars it gave me the nudge I needed to start working on her felt car mat.

My husband and I thought of all the places a town needed like a Tim Hortons Coffee shop and a Target..haha.  

I made a sketch on paper of how I wanted Ashtyn's town to look.

I used inkjet cotton sheets (from Michaels) to print off each business logo so Ashtyn could recognize each business.

This project was definitely a labour of love and it was sometimes tricky sewing the smaller pieces of felt. But all in all I'm happy with how it turned out and best of all Ashtyn is one happy customer.

TIP: if your pressed for time use a glue gun to affix your pieces onto your mat.

VALENTINE BOWL STUFFERS

Valentines Day is not too far off so I've been slowly adding decorative touches to my house. Last weekend I whipped up these little stamped stuffed hearts.

Wanna make some???

Gather your material....felt, burlap, drop cloth material.

Using your stamps and ink, stamp your words onto the drop cloth material....what is that stuff really called anyways...I guess canvas??

Cut out your felt hearts.

Sew your stamped canvas onto the front of your heart. Add any emblelisments...buttons, burlap etc.

Hand stitch or sew your two pieces of heart together leaving a small hole big enough to stuff with polyfill or cotton balls.

Sew the hole shut.

I also made some mini burlap pillows to throw in the mix.

{Happy Valentines Day}
