Tolentreasures

Well, I finally finished it!  What a job!  Too much looking at the same color over and over again and again! I would literally fall asleep with them in my hands. Now to get a new centerpiece for the table. But what? Some pics of pennies around the house. Some bright Kool-Aid dyed pennies. FYI, Kool-Aid Dye really fades! A pink and brown one with a hand-painted cigar box on top. And experiment with ovals. The first kit, bought by my Mom. Another kit. My favorites, the mismatched raggy ones. And the first circle one that I ever tried, Before I realized to use the freezer paper. Thanks for coming along on the tour! It is really, really cold here and really windy. Guess winter has finally made it's official arrival! Stay warm and enjoy your weekend!

You will need: Felted Wool and Embroidery Floss Colors of your choice Jute Assorted buttons or beads Polyfil Freezer paper Cardstock or old greeting cards. Regular Crafting Supplies This is the pattern.  This is on a sheet of 9 x 12 paper and the box is 2 1/2" x 3" I am going to take this to work with me and scan it and create a .pdf file. If you want that, email me and I will send it to you. Trace these patterns onto cardstock. I have been using old greeting cards, colorful patterns and really?.. I was beginning to hoard them, it was time to put them to use. Trace the patterns on to freezer paper. Iron the freezer paper to the wool.  You don't actually cut the pattern out of freezer paper, you leave paper around the edge of it. It is easier to cut out the wool accurately if you are cutting through the paper and the wool. Make sense? I hope so. Now go to your recliner or couch and cut away and make a big mess. I did use the rotary cutter to cut out the squares. Way fast...
