Upon opening the snap tab file there is a PDF  which helps step you through each part of putting this in the hoop Feltie together. I found the instructions clear and easy to read. What I also liked about these instructions is that they outlined each stitch and what part of the Feltie it represented, so there was no guessing what the next colour was. I love BOHO style and I can see this Feltie in so many things. For a really quick solution I carefully snipped only one layer of the felt at the back and then slid a bobby pin in and a tiny bit of hot glue. This was a super easy yet super cute instant hair pretty. But you can glue it straight onto a lined clip as well.

Build a Sundae felt play food embroidery design- Creative medley

The other day I was looking for a quick present for a 4yr old. I suddenly remembered that she had a felt board on one of her easels and wanted to make something to go with it. With help from miss 5 we decided on this fun and creative felt ice cream set. 

Created and developed by: Creative Medley (BUY HERE)

Cost:  $4.99 (US)

Embroidered on: Husqvarna Topaz 20

Size Available: 4x4 Hoop
                       5x7 Hoop

Instructions: Yes (written steps for each component!)

Skill level: Beginner to advanced.

Time taken: 30 min after fabric cut out( I made a cone and three "flavors")

Stabilizer used: I used medium weight tear away. 

 

 

Upon opening up the instructions each component is divided into its own separate instructions. For $4.99 (US) you get designs for an ice cream scoop, plain topping, topping with sprinkles, cherry, cone and bowl. I wanted to make a cone and three flavors so used different color felt for each one.To get the chocolate look I did use fabric on top of the scoop bonding it with heat and bond lite. Each design is finished with a second layer of felt underneath. A tip that I read on an embroidery forum was to use the stiff felt that they use for handbags. This makes them a bit stiffer and easier for little hands.I loved that you can make many variants and colors and the birthday girl loved it!!

This in the hoop design is a fun design which you can use to add flair and individuality to your hair bows. Each body part is in individual folders and is quick to stitch out with the included instruction stitch files. These stitch files show you which colour is coming up next and which stitches it correlates too. If you have ever done felties before this is an easy design and you won't have any trouble. If you are a beginner and this is your first feltie the owner of the little stitch shop is very helpful and can help you with any questions you have.

 

Some of the tips after stitching this design is don't forget to put your backing on the head before the second last stitch, not the last. Also I didn't even think about it but in my pictures below my feet are actually backwards! Whoops. I love this Rapunzel based bow (as did my 5yr old) and will be purchasing lots more in all the different characters and designs!!

Having two girls with thin hair we are often fighting flyaways and an untamely fringe. To help hold the hair better I love using bobby pins but wanted to 'jazz' them up a bit which was why I was excited when dream catcher designs released their in the hoop bobby pin range.

This in the hoop design basically stitches out the pattern in two halves, leaving an opening down the middle to insert a bobby pin. If you have ever sewed felties these are even simpler but if you haven't there is instructions in the file. For this design I used felt and a medium weight tear away. A few tips is: If you are using all one color felt on top and bottom and don't need a placement stitch, to save time and ease of tearing away stabilizer I just double the felt and float them both on top, making sure all the hoop is filled. I them skip step one and go straight to step two. This saves time and also means i don't have to tear stabilizer from the middle part.

Overall this is by far one of the quickest and easiest hair accesories i have done. As they are fairly small I usually stitch out a whole hoop full and then keep them as gifts, favors for birthdays or to add an extra something, instead of a bow when wrapping a present or an order.

In The Hoop Smoosh The White Rabbit Easter Bunny Set FELTIE

Hi my names Nancy and I'm addicted to felties! With Easter coming up I was looking around for a feltie to accompany a cute little outfit. Now I am not a bow maker. In fact I can count on one hand just how many times I've made a bow so I apologize that my bow isn't perfect but what's that saying?

Upon opening the PDF instructions you see step by step written directions as well as a color stitch guide all on the one page. I loved having this color stitch guide on the instructions as it meant i could read what i needed to do as well as know what was being stitched out in advance and the stitch count. It also has a separate PDF with the picture of the bunny from the website. I have done many felties before so had no troubles with this design and in fact was able to whip up my bow AND feltie in just under an hour making it great for me as my middle name is lastminute.com!

 

If you are new to felties and have any questions the designer Kellie is fantastic and responds to messages quickly with fantastic advice and help. One thing that i didn't notice before i purchased this design is that it comes with a tail! I loved this idea... you can put it to the side or like me i actually added it to the back before attaching it to my alligator clip giving a really cute back!

See the cute little tail!!!
