The 50 simple projects in this volume all utilize contemporary felts that are inexpensive and widely available. Some projects call for simple machine stitching or hand stitching, but more that half require only fabric glue and iron-on adhesives. Projects include felt cards, felt notepad covers, marine flags wall banner, felt art, felt belt, multi-coloured felt shoes, rose-clad felt hat, rock 'n roll skirt, pet mobile, doggie scarves, decorated pillows, quilt, Celtic banner and a wine bottle bag.
Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com Review
With its bright colors and no-fray edges, felt is one of the most enjoyable materials around, and certainly the easiest with which to work. Today's new felts--in plush textures, or embossed with rich designs resembling snakeskin, leather, or wallpaper--make crafting with felt even a little sophisticated. Check out Katherine Duncan's Fabulous Felt Crafts for dozens of whimsical ways to craft with this festive fabric, all nicely presented and thoroughly explained. For kids, try making things like the notepad covers, butterfly pin, moon and stars valance, pet mobile, rabbit in a hat puppet, or regal child throne. Grownup attire includes a reverse-appliqué vest, sassy felt shoes, hats, and an elegant evening bag. For the home there are pillows, wall hangings, a collaged table, a beautiful tree skirt, and much more. Complete patterns are included, along with a simple embroidery stitch guide. A gallery of unusual felt creations explores the work of talented felt artists. --Amy Handy
From Library Journal
Felt is an easily worked craft material for adults and children. Often associated with holidays, it receives a variety of year-round treatments in these step-by-step projects, which include clothing, accessories, pillows, and banners by several designers. Most are embellished with embroidery, buttons, beads, and other items. An embroidery stitch guide and patterns for enlarging are included. This is a good selection for public or school libraries.

This review is from: Fabulous Felt Crafts: 50 Creative and Colorful Projects to Make (Paperback)
If you like felt crafts, you're sure to love this book. From practical to whimsical, from cute to wild, these crafts offer something for everyone. There are frames, banners, pillows, accessories, toys, and more. One project offers an amazing new take on felt: using a woodburning tool to create a Celtic banner. You might not need to make these projects - the book is presented so well, you can browse it like an art book! You're sure to come away smiling.
