Five Days of FELT! From Twig and Thistle

Hello lovelies! Are you all sitting down? Because I am about to blow your mind with Twig and Thistles five part holiday series, the Five Days of Felt. Behold:

I have been on a straight up felt frenzy lately. I just love it, I'm wild for it, I just cant get enough felt! And apparently the blog brilliance that is Twig and Thistle could not agree more. I have seen so much holiday felt cuteness that I am about ready to buy a heard of alpaca for our small yard and start knitting big things from their wool so that I can wash them and make them very small-the knitted items, that is, not the alpaca. Anyway, I am getting a little carried away with all of my feelings about felt. So, before I write a sonnet about it, let's just take a deep breath and tackle this one at a time, shall we?

Felt Pine Cones from Family Circle

Can you stand it? I want to decorate a whole tiny tree with these-make a garland---use them for present decorations! Can you imagine? Brown paper packages tied up with string and THESE GUYS!?! I might spend the next 11 months making them for next Christmas. See the Five days of Felt post from Twig and Thistle here. And tune in here for the full tutorial from Family Circle.

Felt Envelopes from Small Adventure

I want these for everything from organizing my table linens to having my niece write letters to Santa. Seriously, the possibilities are endless. See the original post from Twig and Thistle here. Or grab one for yourself from the Small Adventure Etsy Shop right here

Felt Garland from Purl Bee

This is just so simple and sweet. I love it pared with vintage-y ornamints. The candy cane red and white is adorable, but clearly you could make it in any color combo you could image. You can find the original post from Twig and Thistle here, or head over to Purl Bee to learn how to make your own right here. They even have instructions for using a similar technique for making felt bracelets and necklaces! Swoon!

Felt-y Fabulousness from Maddy of Somewhere Splendid and Shauna of Shauna Younge Dessert Tables

This wreath with felt holly, felt gift card holder with jingle bell closure, and this fantastic felt mistletoe are all from a series called The 10 Days of Craftsmas. It's all genius! I could go on and on, but just see for yourselves at Twig and Thistle or head over the Sweet Tooth for the full experience.

 

The felt holly wreath tutorial is at Somewhere Splendid along with the gift card holder and the felt mistletoe.

Enjoy crafting your little hearts out! Next time you see me I just might be covered in felt holly. Just FIY…
