felt ornament tutorial

This was a fun little project I've been working on...

finally I am done, and now I have these cheerful felt ornaments :)

I chose my own sizes, and used mostly bottles for circle sizes.

Seven different sizes, and then colorful buttons for the middle. 

I just layered different colors on the brown or black base.

Each one came out different which made me very happy!

LOVE!!!

I used a hot glue gun to attach thin ribbon for hanging. 

Attach toward the top of the ornament so it will hang evenly.

Then hang them and *ENJOY* then as soon as possible!

They don't have to be perfect - mine certainly aren't!

But they'll still look fun and festive all together on your tree!

Check it out below!

Merry Merry!!!

coziness continued

Okay, okay - I just couldn't help it. I got carried away by all the cozy goodness of my last post and my mind started spinning, and my fingers started searching, and you know what happens after that. But come on - how cute is this little hand knit mug cozy!? It's from Wayside Violet's Shop on Etsy of course. And it's seriously so adorable I think I could keep drinking from it all the day long.
I was looking for regular hand knit scarves - really I was - but you guys know how I love things that are different from the norm. When I came across this leafy button scarf from Bright Light's Shop I was totally entranced! (I refuse to use the term 'smitten' because it's the new overused buzzword and I hate it) And she has other really unique creations too!
Those of you who know me all-too-well know that my life revolves around my dogs :) So I couldn't resist throwing something cozy in for our little furry friends. Here we have a softer-than-soft pet nest blankie made of minky material from Your Lovey Boutique. Cat or dog, if your baby loves to burrow and be oh-so-cozy, this is oh-so-adorable :)
Now, I'm trying really, REEEELY hard not to play favorites here people, but seriously... are these lidded mugs not the MOST DARLING THINGS YOU'VE EVER SEEN!?!?! Sheesh, I nearly had a come-apart when I laid eyes on them. They're hand made from Karen Goldberg 1's Shop, which is a must-see because her pottery is simply FABU!!!
Oooooooh, so soft, so cozy, so lovely anywhere in your house! What is more comforting than chenille!? This 16x16 pillow cover is in my personal "favorites" list. It comes from Vintage Home's Shop and it's just simply dreamy. Take a peek - she's gearing up for the holidays too!
And last but certainly not least (especially for those of us who can't seem to get enough of felt - and I mean real felt, not the stupid fabric store felt), here is a simple die cut wool felt coaster set from Filz Felt's Shop. So very understated, so very useful, so very cool.

So happy Monday and have another cozy day!
