Hand felted bags

that I made as Christmas presents for my sister-in-law & niece

I had made the felt at an evening class

I then needle felted the seams together to form the bag

and needle felted the heart shapes which were needle felted onto the bag

and I used a beaded felt ball as a button for the fastener.

I used the same process for the Autumn coloured bag

using a white felt ball as the button this time

I really enjoyed the felt making process & was pleased with the way the bags looked when finished & decorated.

Revealed The Art Work!

Look back at the pieces of felt I made in the last post .....

This is the resulting art work!

I added some knots on the trunk & veins on the leaves using thread 

Going back to my roots now!!

I used different coloured threads for the veins to give depth

and just attached them to give movement
