As part of this month’s Cupcake Party and 10 year blogiversary celebration, I’m doing weekly giveaways!
As you probably well know, felted wool sweaters and wool felt are the materials I was using when I started craft blogging and I continue to use them. Recently I’ve been experimenting with something I’m calling “felt weaving” using wool blend felt. I also use it for reverse appliqué, because there’s nothing like felt for being able to cut crisp raw edges that don’t fray!
For this week’s give-away, I have a stack of beautiful wool blend felt supplied by National Non-wovens. There are 6 fat quarters in their new “Once Upon a Time” color palette. Pretty cupcake-y looking, aren’t they?
TO ENTER: Comment below (before 12am US EST Sunday May 15th) telling me your favorite kind of projects to make with felt. Appliqué? Ornaments? Coasters? I will randomly choose 1 winner to receive this stack of delicious felt. Be sure to leave your email address so I can contact you if you win!
Good luck and have a great weekend!
I like to make hand-stitched ornaments because they are small enough to make on my couch while I watch Netflix!
I love, love, love to make ornaments. I usually give them away to family and friends.
I just adore your little teal sewing machine!
I make a lot of holiday decorations with felt, also Penney rug mats.
I like making pincushions. This would be perfect.
I can’t stop making felt ornaments — they’re quick and easy to do, and perfect for an infusion of craftiness into an otherwise overwhelming day.
I use felt to back the pins and ornaments that I make from felted sweaters. Makes for a nice neat backing.
Ohhh what beautiful felt! I love National Nonwovens, although it’s harder to get hold of in England. I like to make all things felty… currently designing some quiet books that are mainly felt. I don’t like fraying edges! Simmi xx
Coin Purses – so cute
I love the woven felt pieces you have been experimenting with. I’m a retired elementary teacher and have been teaching weaving like that with construction paper for years. I never thought of using felt.
What a pretty bundle- fairy like for sure! I love to use felt for ornaments, and cute little wall hangings! thank you!
Lately I am making mobiles for baby’s room . Really SO many things to make and SO little time?! Thankful to have discovered the versatility of wool felt.

I use felt for accents and hair on my rag dolls. Also, finger puppets. Would love to one day make ornaments and am eyeing your coin pouches. Love watching the development of the weaving too!
In the past my favorite has been candle mats, but I’m working on a piece to be framed and hung for the fall season, and I love it!
I like the penny mats/doilies made from felt and also love making christmas ornaments.

I especially love making Christmas tree ornaments — the grandkids can have fun while putting them on the tree with no fear of breakage. The ornaments are relatively quick little projects and make great gifts! Quiet book pages are nice too but take much more time. Need to try a needle book now…
I like to make ornaments for Christmas presents, and occasionally new coasters. Love the new wool felt colors!
I love to make felt Christmas decorations and toys for my friends grand children.
I haven’t used felt before but would like to make a needlecase and applique a scissor pouch, all so a matching tablet cover for my mum. Ideas never ending but as always time in short supply.

I’m ready to start making felt Christmas ornaments for our church bazaar that is held in December.
I have only used wool/felt for applique. I have a few books that I really should make the time to read, to help expand my repertoire. Have a lovely day, Karen
I love creating with wool felt, it is a great material to work with and lends a beautiful texture for appliqué. I most enjoy making smaller items like ornaments, table toppers, and wall hangings.
Coasters and ornaments.
The ideas here are so inspiring! I’m ready to move beyond ornaments. Next: the weaving! Gotta try that!
These colors are luscious. I have only tried ornaments. I would need to branch out and try one of your creative ideas if the wind this wool!
Love wool applique!
I love making mobiles with little felt leaves, flowers, birds, bugs. Usually a nature theme, but I’ve done cars and trucks too. Such fun and the grandchildren adore them.
Felt is a great fabric! I use it for flower pins, baby booties and sometimes needle felt it onto backgrounds of rug hooking projects.

I’ve only made ornaments so far and would love to branch out with this yummy stack! Love seeing your creations – thanks!

I love any fabric of wool, with wool felt as my favorite! So versatile, easy to manipulate and takes color so well. My favorite items include Christmas stockings and little ornaments of all shapes and sizes. Tiny beads and embellishments in silver on all shades of blue and blue green are my fave!
I make felt pinecones!
I’ love making flowers to decorate clothing. I have made them into pins for jackets and added them to tote bags.

I love to make playmats for my little friends at church!!
I just made 120 big red roses for our elementary school library. I found some vintage felt at our senior center’s craft supply thrift store. It’s an Incredibly rich red, maybe part wool. I did the cutting and gluing. Kids visiting the library rolled the roses with me. Now they are all over the library, waiting to welcome families for back to school night. They are fabulous and the kids are so proud.
I love the colors!! I would have to take a class on how to do felting.
I like taking thrifted sweaters and felting them. Then I can use them in purses and bags.
My favourite felt projects are quilts made with felted wool… but more recently i have started to do some doll making with felt–so fun!
I love to make ornaments of all kinds! Not just Christmasy-looking ones! 🙂
So far, I have only made ornaments with felt, but recently I purchased a pattern to make a table runner and matching mug rug… can’t wait to try!
