Felt Tissue Holders.



I saw this on Martha Stewart and I loved the idea! I was nervous to try, but had sooo much fun making them! (Aside from the torrent of glue gun burns to my fingers!) They are felt pockets that hold small tissue packs. Starting out I wasn't sure how I was going to embellish them. But I found that using a stamped image on paper, then trimming that image out of the felt was a great way to go.

This is how the back of them look. They have an opening so they are refillable.

For these challenges -
The Shabby Tea Room. They want to see OLD MEETS NEW. Making an entire project from felt is new to me, and I combined that with old stamps and paper piecing patterns.
Pollycraft wants to see A Little Bit of Nature.
Cowgirls Sunday Stampen' wants to see Flowers. They also have a blog hop this week for those who are interested!
Thanks for looking,
Farrah

These are so cute - I love making things like these, just don't seem to get enough time to make everything I want to. Yes, glue gun burns hurt so much don't they?
