Time to Make Gifts for our Lovelies.
Teacher Clips:
We folded felt over paper clips, added felt shapes, used spots of glue to hold.
Sewing time: a little whipstitch around the edge
Ta-da!
We have a bloom of flowers and bugs for our favorite kinder-"Gardener"!
Felt Flower Clips and Corsages:
Cut scallops in a strip of felt,
gather and pinch each scallop into a petal
Fasten with a quick tacking stitch or two.
Continue to gather, pinch and stitch remaining petals together.
To make into a hair clip: sew or glue the flower to a clip.
Even Easier Felt Flowers:
Bunch it together in the center.
Sew the bunchy part with several tacking stitches.
Done!
stitched them to a safety pin
A non-wilting corsage!
A great making-things book:

These are so adorable! I marvel at how well your daughters can use sewing needles and create small stitches.
Thanks, Michele! Felt and big needles are very forgiving with beginning sewers.
I like it! Felt is great for crafting, isn't it?
