I love the pop of cosy colour yarn wrapping adds to my rustic Field Day hobby-horse sticks.
Yarn and sticks really are a perfect match. And yes, it's as fun as it sounds!
Here's how it's done.
I was recently introduced to needle turn applique and now I'm hooked! I love the finish, so beautiful, all hand done, using your needle to tuck under the raw edge (although I mostly use my fingers). If you’re new to this technique, rest assured it’s not as fiddly as it sounds and it’s totally worth the effort for the beautiful results.
Felt is such a versatile crafting material and because it doesn't fray, it's ideal for adding features on toys, such as eyes. Cutting small shapes from felt however, can be challenging. It's hard to trace directly onto felt and pinning small patterns in place is less than ideal. Lucky for us, there's a much simpler way to accurately cut small felt shapes without the frustration.
You're going to love how simple it is to make this bow tie. I designed it to dress-up my runabout toy bear because how dapper are bears in bow ties! But I couldn't stop at just one...
