Kunin Felt Easter Egg Bunting

Easter is right around the corner! Why not brighten up your decor with this adorable KuninGroup Felt Easter Egg Bunting! It was super easy and super fun!
I love using my Sizzix Eclips2 to cut out patterns for fabric or felt!
Once my patterns were cut out, I pinned them to my KuninGroup felt and then went to cutting! I used pinking shears to give the eggs zigzag edges!
Then, it was time to sew them! I decided to stuff them while they were still under the sewing foot. I sewed all but about 2 inches, stuffed them, realigned my edges and finished sewing!
Once they were all sewn, I used Tulip Fabric Paint to add decorations to them! I think they turned out egg-tastic! 🙂
Using bright pink baker’s twine and a big needle, I threaded the twine through the top part of the egg, making sure to go between the felt and stitches.
And then, it was complete!!! It is absolutely adorable!
Hope you like my Kunin Felt Easter Egg Bunting!

Until next time…..

Kunin Chevron Felt Hanging Letter

1 Reply

I love Kunin Group’s Chevron Felt! The pattern is already on the felt, so all you have to do is create something Felt-tastic. I love having something decorative hanging on my front door. Driving by one of my neighbors houses the other day, I noticed that they had a wooden initial on their front door, so I thought……why not do something similar with felt! While at the Craft and Hobby Associations Mega Show in January, the lovely ladies at the Kunin Group Felt booth gave me this lovely Pink Chevron Felt. And I love how it turned out!

So, I am totally obsessed with the Sizzix eclips2! It does amazing things. I use it all of the time to cut out patterns for sewing. Using the eCal2 software, I decided upon this big B. I used the eclips2 to cut it out and tada….a big B pattern!

Once my B was cut out of card stock, I pinned it to the felt and then cut it out, making sure that the top and bottoms were both facing with the pattern outward.

Using my sewing machine, I began sewing at about 1/4 of an inch from the edge. I started with the insides. For the outside of the letter, I started on the serifs, leaving an opening on the left of the “B” so that I could stuff it. I used Poly-fil to stuff it. Once it was stuffed, I pinned my open edge and sewed it shut!

Using a thicker type wire, I inserted it in two places into the back side of my “B” at the top. I meant to leave about 3 inches that I wound around a marker so give it curls.

Then it was ready to hang!

I love it and it is just perfect for the Spring time hanging on my front door!

Fun Fact: Kunin Fabrics are made from Eco-fi, 100% Post Consumer recycled plastic bottles and made in the USA!

Quick and Easy Felt St. Patrick’s Day Jewelry

Leave a reply

Worried about getting pinched on St. Patrick’s Day? This quick and easy felt jewelry can help keep you from getting that unfriendly pinch!
Using my Sizzix Eclips2 and a free shamrock template included in the software, I cut different size shamrocks for templates. Once they were cut, I pinned them to my green felt and then cut them out.
Using Tulip Slick Fabric Paint, I drew along the edges of the shamrocks just give it a little something extra!

Once the fabric paint was dried, I glued some of Laura Kelly’s green buttons from Buttons Galore & More to the middles using Aleene’s Tacky Glue.
I knew that I wanted to make a necklace, a hair clip, a broach type pin and some earrings, so I gathered the materials needed for those pieces.
Using a jump ring, I opened it and stuck it through the top of my largest shamrock. I used pliers to close the jump ring and then threaded the necklace through.
Using hot glue, I attached the alligator clip to the back of one of the middle sized shamrocks.
And I did the same with the pin back….
Using earrings that I had in my jewelry making stash, I poked a hole through the felt with the end. No jump rings necessary! Now, I know that I won’t be pinched on St. Patty’s Day! Hope you like my quick and easy St. Patrick’s Day Jewelry!
