Make It- Felt Pine Cones

  I love making fabric pine cones I have been using this fantastic tutorial from
http://knittygrittythoughts.typepad.com/knitty_gritty_thoughts/2009/11/my-entry.html

to make them

I decided to experiment and do a little variation. I had heaps of felt circles from my sizzix cutter and thought these would be great to use.

Using the same technique as the fabric pine cones I arranged the felt circles the same way on the Styrofoam ball.

These are fun to make and look good as a display..........

I recommend buying a sizzix cutter they come in very handy. I was able to get a hello kitty big shot sizzix a couple of years ago and I just adore it.

I purchased mine from this website http://store.scrapbook.com/brand/sizzix.html

..........Happy crafting......

How to store your ribbon

I had trouble storing all my ribbon, it got tangled in a box and it was hard to tell what I had. So I decided to wind it all onto wooden pegs and put them on display. It turned out amazing I love all the colours when they are grouped together. I f you are going to do this try and have a break while winding I did mine in one go and gee I have a sore hands and wrists now....
