Hello blogging world...my blogging career seemed short lived, but I'm back!
I've had a few people ask about the felt scarf that I made this week so here is the tutorial and my tips!
I originally found the Felt Flower Scarf on pinterest and the tutorial can be found on this blog, Watch Me Daddy. Her blog is fantastic with many other fun projects!
Here are my tips:
1. Cut your circles out on posterboard to use as a guide. As she says in the blog it does not have to be exact as you will be scalloping the ends later. I found items around my house with different diameters, but here are the sizes:
5in, 4.5in, 4in, 3.5in, 3in, 2in--these are all approximates, as I just found items with diameters close to this.
2. After you cut out the long piece for the scarf, fold the remaining felt in half. Now start your tracing bonanza (soon to followed by a cutting bonanza and a sewing bonanza). Trace all the circles on the felt. I was making 2 scarves so I traced all 13 of each circle, but if you are doing just one you only have to trace half, which will cut your cutting time in half.
3. Now secure each circle with a pin to avoid movement while cutting ALL those circles out. I also kept them pinned until after I scalloped the ends of the circles.
Once you get a hang of the stiching for the flowers it goes quickly...I did it all with two very needy dogs that kept putting their noses in the way for attention. A good movie playing is a must!! I'll post pictures later...my computer is not working with me!
Hope this is all helpful and thanks again to Watch Me Daddy for the tutorial!!
