Felt Rainbow Ornament featuring Fairfield World Poly-fil

Leave a reply

Fairfield World is celebrating their 80th birthday, so I’m celebrating with them by making a felt rainbow ornament filled with Fairfield Poly-fil Fiber Fill! I absolutely love Fairfield World products and I have been using the fiber fill forever!

Materials used:

  • Fairfield World Poly-fil Fiber Fill
  • Kunin Felt Classic Felt 9″x12″ craft cuts: (1) Red, (1) Orange, (1) Yellow, (1)Apple Green, (1) Peacock, (1) Fuchsia, (1) White
  • Scissors
  • Felt Glue (I use Beacon Felt Glue)
  • Sewing Machine
  • Embroidery Floss
  • Needle

How I made it:

I began by cutting my red felt into to half circles at a length of 5.5 inches. I then cut the orange, yellow, green, blue and fuchsia into the same size half circles using the red one as a pattern.

Then I arranged them in the order of the rainbow and then cut each one a little smaller, creating a rainbow look. Then I cut two white half circles at six inches, slightly larger than the red one.

Using my sewing machine, I sewed the two white pieces together, leaving just a quarter inch seam and a two inch opening at the bottom. I then stuffed it with the Fairfield Poly-fil Fiber Fill and sewed it up!

I glued together the rainbow using Beacon Felt Glue. Next I glued the rainbow to the stuffed white piece and let it dry completely.

Once it was dry, using the needle and embroidery floss, I put the floss through the seam of the white pieces and tied the ends together so that I could hang it on the tree!

Happy 80th Birthday Fairfield World!!!!

Happy Crafting. Until next time…..

Fairfield World Pillow Party 2019 Let It Snow Pillow

5 Replies

The Fairfield World Pillow Party has been so much fun and these Let it Snow! pillows were super fun and easy to make. My friends over at Fairfield World, Laura Kelly Designs, The Hedgehog Hollow put together this fun Holiday Pillow Party blog hop.

What’s needed:

  • Fairfield Poly-fil Premier Ultra Plush Pillow
  • 1.5 yards of Kunin Premium felt cut from a bolt: Charcoal
  • 9″x12″ Kunin Premium felt: Candy Pink
  • 9″x12″ Kunin Coordinate felt: Silver Dot on White
  • pins
  • Snowflake Pattern
  • Let it Snow! Pattern
  • Scissors
  • Beacon Fabri-Tac Premium Fabric Glue
  • Cutting Mat, Cutting Ruler and Rotary Cutter
  • Sewing Machine

Fairfield has great pillows to add to any pillow case. They provided these awesome Poly-Fit Premier Ultra Plush Pillow Inserts. I created my very own pillow cases to go over them. Here is how I made them!

The pillows were 20″x20″ so I cut my felt at 21″x21″. I cut 4 squares and then cut 2 of them in half.

Each pillow should have 3 pieces of Charcoal fabric, (1) 21″x21″ and (2) 10.5″x21″. Pin the two smaller pieces to the bigger piece. This leaves an opening in the middle of the back of the pillow.

Leaving 1″ around the edge, sew all the way around the pillow case.

Once the pillow cases are all sewn, remove all of the pins and put the insert in the pillow case.

Print out the patterns and pin them to the felt.

Cut the snowflakes and the letters from the felt.

Once everything is cut out, lay the pieces out on the pillowcase to make sure you have it where you want it.

Using Beacon’s Fabric-Tac Premium Fabric Glue, glue your pieces in place.

Let the glue dry and then your pillows are ready to use!

Hope you like these adorable Let it Snow! Pillows that I created for the Fairfield World Pillow Party 2019. Be sure to check out the other pillows that were created!

Beach and Pool season is here. These adorable felt Beach Ball Coasters would be perfect by the pool.

Skill Level:  Easy

Time to Complete:  1 hour

Materials:

  • 9” x 12” Craft Cut of KuninFelt Classic felt:  (1) Minty, (1) Yellow, (1) Orange, (1) Peacock, (1) Apple Green, (1) Fuchsia , (1) White
  • Scissors
  • Felt Glue
  • Pins (optional)

How I made it:

Print the Beach Ball PDF pattern out.  You will need a total of 7 balls so you may have to print 2 sheets.  Cut out the balls.

Using one of the patterns, cut out the base of the coasters from the Minty felt.  

If you want to use pins, pin one circle to each of the other colors of felt or you can just hold the pattern in place.  Cut the circle out first and then cut the pieces of each ball following the lines.  Be sure to cut the small round pieces too.

Alternating colors, place the pieces on the Minty base pieces to make it look like a beach ball.  

Glue everything in place and let them dry! You can trim off any pieces that are hanging over the Minty base piece.

Then they are ready to use by the pool or on your beach umbrella table!

Hope you enjoy these super simple felt Beach Ball coasters.

Decorated Letter Decor

5 Replies

Craft Lightning is happening and the theme this month is Wood.  Wood is my favorite material to work with.   I usually like to do the cutting and designing, but today I’m using a wooden letter that I got from my local craft store.

Materials used:

Wooden Letter
Paint (I used Plaid’s FolkArt Color Shift in Yellow Flash)
Paint Brush
Felt (I use KuninFelt)
Hot Glue Gun and Hot Glue Stick
Scissors

How I decorated it:

I applied two coats of paint to the letter, allowing the first coat to dry before applying the second coat.

I cut the felt for my felt flowers.  I just used a simple tutorial that I found online.

Then I put the flowers together using the hot glue gun.

I glued the flowers to the letter.

And then it was time to hang it up!!!!   This particular letter had a hanging hole on the back but you could also hang it by using ribbon or jute rope! 

This decorated flower decor took less than 15 minutes, excluding the drying time.  This would be a super easy project for a kids party or a girls night in!

Craft Lightning is here again!!!!   I love it!   The theme this time was Clay Pots!   There are so many things that you can do with clay pots other than using them as flower pots!   I made this adorable little Cupcake Pin Cushion with mine!   It took less than 15 minutes!!!

How I made it:
Paint the Pot!!!  I used this awesome FolkArt Color Shift Paint from Plaid!

 

  1. I cut a circle from my felt.  It didn’t have to be a perfect circle.  It’s about 8 inches across.  I also ran a quick stitch around the edge with the embroidery floss.
  2.  I flipped the felt over and added the Poly-pellets to the middle.
  3.  I pulled the embroidery floss until the circle closed up around the Poly-pellets.  I also just did a few quick stitches over the hole to close it up.
  4.  Using the hot glue gun, I added glue to the inside of my pot and stuffed the Poly-pellet filled felt down into the pot.

5.  Using the hot glue gun, I glued the red pom-pom on the top!   And then I added my pins!

Christmas Countdown Banner

4 Replies

It’s Holiday Craft Lightning time!  Can you believe it’s time to start thinking about Christmas?!?!?!   For this Craft Lightning, I decided to make a quick and fun Christmas Countdown Banner.  The kids love counting down the days until Christmas!  Me, I love counting down the days that I have left to shop!!!!

Materials:  
12” x 18” craft cut of Kunin Premiumfelt™ (1) Smoke
9” x 12” craft cut of Kunin Corduroy™ (1) Pirate Green
9” x 12” craft cut of Kunin ClassicFelt™ (1) Yellow, (1) Red, (1) Royal Blue, (1) Fuchsia 
Wooden Rod
Ribbon
Hot Glue Gun and Hot Glue
Sharpie or any marker
Tulip Slick Dimensional Fabric Paint
Scissors
Velcro pieces that have the hooks

  1.  First, cut out your tree, the ornaments and a star.  I folded my green felt in half and just freehand drew a tree.  I cut the ornaments and the star freehand.  You could definitely make a pattern for it.   I wasn’t overly concerned about my ornaments being round.  

2.  I cut up velcro dots and squares to go onto the back of the ornaments and star.  I then hot glued them to the back of the dots.

3.  Add numbers to the dots.  I put 25 on my star, so that the star gets put on the tree first!!!!  You could do it the opposite way and put the number 1 on the star so that it gets put on last!

3.  Position your wooden rod on the backside of the banner, fold over the felt and then hot glue the flap down on the backside.

4.  Using the Tulip Slick, write the works “Days until Christmas!” at the top, making sure you leave room for the tree and star!

This is super fun for the kids and they can help out as well!   You could let them cut our the ornaments!
