It’s Craft Lightning time again and this one is Patriotic Crafts! This Freedom Felt Banner was super easy and took barely anytime to make! And I love a cute seasonal banner!

Kunin Felt Embroidery Hoop Art

2 Replies

Sometimes I like to be a little unconventional! This time it’s with a Valentine’s Day Card! I’m participating in a Valentine’s Day DIY Card Swap! So, for this Card Swap, I made an Embroidery Hoop Art that can be displayed using Kunin Felt!

Materials Needed:
Embroidery Hoop (I used a 4 inch)
Pink and White Felt (Kunin Felt)
Scissors
Beacon Felt Glue
Tulip Fabric Paint

Directions:

1. I placed the felt in the hoop and tightened the screw.

2. Once the fabric was pulled tight, I trimmed the extra felt.

3. From the white felt, I cut a heart and the letters to spell “LOVE”.

4. Using Beacon Felt Glue, I glued them down.

5. Using Tulip Slick Fabric Paint, I added some details.

6. Let dry and then it’s ready to be put in the mail to a special person!

Here is one that I made for the Designer Section Share The Heart Free Art Project at Creativation in Phoenix, AZ last month. Pieces of Art with a Heart made by the CHA Designers placed art around the show and people could find it and keep it! My friend Laura Kelly was the one to find mine! For this one, I used Laura Kelly’s Lemonade Alphabet and Heart #5 dies from Sizzix.

Kunin Felt Love Banner

Disclosure: This blog post contains one or more affiliate links.

It’s time for the Valentine’s Day Craft Lightning series! And since I’m obsessed with banners lately, this was an easy one for me! It really takes less than 15 minute and even the kids can help out with it.

Materials needed:
Sizzix Cutting Machine (I use a Big Shot)
Kunin Felt
Dies:

Felt Glue (I use Beacon’s)
Jute Rope
Clothespins (I like the medium sized ones)

Step 1: Using the Big Shot machine and dies, I cut all of my pieces. Lori Whitlock’s Banner die is my favorite die ever, especially with the banner craze that I have right now!!!! I also love Laura Kelly’s Lemonade Alphabet! The Sizzix Wavy Frame is so versatile! I cut the frame out in two different felt colors.

Step 2: Lay your design out. At first, I wasn’t going to add the inside of the frame piece, but then I decide to. I like it! Once you have it laid out the way you want it, glue it all down. I glued the frames down first and then added the letters.

Step 3: Let it dry and then add it to your jute rope using clothes pins. Then hang it up! Another option is to cut small cuts into the top of your felt banner and then slide it onto the jute rope. I like the clothespins, simply for the fact that I like to make banners for different occasions and I can just switch them out! I love to use Command Strips to hang up my banners. They are easy to remove and you can put them wherever you want!

I hope you like this adorable LOVE banner made from Kunin Felt.

Easter Egg Place Mat

2 Replies

Easter is right around the corner, as in this upcoming weekend! Everyone will be sitting down to have an Easter meal with the family! Why not brighten up the table with an Easter Egg Place Mat! This one is made with Kunin Felt!

Materials needed:
Bright colored Felt (Kunin is my brand of choice! I used Eco-fi Plus for the mat and ClassicFelt for the eggs and grass)
Scissors
Sewing Machine
Thread

First, I cut several pieces of felt that were about 6in x 2in. Then, I cut little strips to use as the decorations on the eggs. I made some zigzag, some curvy and some straight.

Once I had them all laid out, I sewed the strips onto the 6in x 2 in pieces using my sewing machine. Then, I cut out the egg shapes. Once they were cut, I placed them on my Eco-fi Plus piece of Felt and then sewed them down.

With my green felt, I cut strips to use as grass. I snipped the sides different lengths and then rounded the edges. Using the sewing machine, I sewed down the grass. I sewed a rectangle along the bottom of the grass, so that the fringe would move. Once my eggs and grass were all sewn on, I did a decorative stitch around the outside of the mat.

This was a really simple project. Perfect for beginners! The kids will love it!

National Watermelon Day 2015

National Watermelon Day is here! I love that Watermelon has its own special day of celebration each year! We will be celebrating at our house!

My friend Laura Kelly is an amazing artist and has designed these awesome Wacky Watermelon Printables with some of her adorable watermelon art. I cut them up and used them to decorate my party table!
While I was at the store today, I saw that Pillsbury now has a Funfetti Gluten Free Sugar Cookie mix! OMG, they are delicious! How cute are these watermelon cookies?! I baked them, cut the tops off of some to make them look like a watermelon half, and then cut two sides off to make angles for a wedge! Not realizing it, I picked up the Pillbury Sugar Free Vanilla frosting! The kids had no clue and there were no complaints!!! I love how they came out!
Using Kunin felts, I made this adorable Watermelon Banner! Click the photo below to see how I made it!
Did you see those adorable lollipops in the photo? Those are from Lollipics, with Laura Kelly designs on them. You can get your own with custom designs! They are great for parties , weddings, or gifts!
Hope you like what we have in store for National Watermelon Day! And I hope you have a wonderful Yummy Watermelon filled day!

Kunin Felt Watermelon Banner

Leave a reply

In honor of National Watermelon Day on Monday, August 3rd, I made this adorable Watermelon Banner with Kunin Felt!
Using eCals2, I designed a half and a wedge watermelon slice. I made three different layers, one for the rind, one for the white part and one for the red part. Using my Sizzix Eclips2, I cut the pieces out to use as a template.
Instead of sewing my watermelons together, I used Aleene’s Fabric Fusion. Super and easy and quick.
Once all of my watermelons were glued together and dried, I used mini clothes pins and red baker twine to hang the watermelon pieces.
The watermelon banner is perfect for a watermelon party for any summer fun get together! My boys will be celebrating National Watermelon Day 2015 with some yummy watermelon, Watermelon Sugar Cookies, Laura Kelly’s Wacky Watermelon Printables and some awesome Lollipops from Lollipics! Click on the photo below to learn about these goodies!
Hope you like my Kunin Felt Watermelon Banner! And Happy National Watermelon Day!

Personalized Felt Coasters with Kunin Felt

Leave a reply

I love coasters, especially personalized ones. And Kunin Felt is the perfect way to make your own personalized coasters! Check out these Letter B coasters I made using KuninGroups gray and white chevron felt and a traditional white felt.
First, I cut eight 4 inch by 4 inch squares using my Fiskars rotary cutter, mat and ruler.
Then, using the eCal2 software, I cut out the letter “B” using my Sizzix Eclips2 and cardstock. Once my cardstock “B” was cut out, I pinned it to my white felt and then cut out four felt B’s.
I pinned the felt B’s to four of the felt squares and sewed them on.
Once my letters were sewn on, I placed a second piece of felt the same size to the back and sewed it together to make it a little thicker! Hope you like my personalized felt coasters!

Until next time…..

Shop Laura Kelly – Button and Felt Heart Garland

3 Replies

ShopLauraKelly.com has some of the cutest craft kits put together by one of my best friends, Laura Kelly! One of my favorite kits in the collection is the Button and Felt Heart Garland!
Laura is very creative and has licenses with several companies! The kits that she has put together come with everything you need to put your projects together!
This particular kit includes felt hearts, ribbon, colorful embroidery floss, buttons and a needle.
Instead of using my ribbon to hold the hearts for the banner, I decided to cut the ribbon into 4 inch strips and glued them together to make a little loop using Aleene’s Fast Grab Tacky Glue. I then glued them to the backs of my hearts.
Once they were dried, I turned the hearts over and glued a coordinating color button to the front.

Then, I slid them onto my embroidery floss that I left together to look like a rainbow!

It also makes a great necklace! I love it! So, go on over to ShopLauraKelly.com and check out Laura’s cute little craft kits!
