<br />
I'll start off by admiting that this fancy fold card is not the easiest card on the planet to make. but it is one of the most satisfying. I've chosen is beautiful iris stamp to showcase on this card.<br />

I thought that they looked cute but they needed a Craft Fairy makeover. So I decided to make a bright and cheerful one that can be used for other things once the teeth have all fallen out.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPCfekZGNvqdfsLb_Wjqzr2yisDaseCuwlpgtQHM8KyGAuZil269pLhbjXmhC4pnz-7qz2lCzh9qy3ay2A2uLFQSlnG01DkLrPUEUixNPgn_1sfNEi49xDxp4hI7FR0G2ZffkgN07FGB4/s1600/pompom+tooth+pillow.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPCfekZGNvqdfsLb_Wjqzr2yisDaseCuwlpgtQHM8KyGAuZil269pLhbjXmhC4pnz-7qz2lCzh9qy3ay2A2uLFQSlnG01DkLrPUEUixNPgn_1sfNEi49xDxp4hI7FR0G2ZffkgN07FGB4/s1600/pompom+tooth+pillow.jpg" width="303" /></a></div>
<br />
This über cute tooth fairy pillow is only 10cm wide. Just the right size for slipping under the child's pillow on the bed.<br />
<br />
The pocket is formed by laying a piece of pink felt over the white base. Remember to sew the sides closed but to leave the top open. Sew the pompom trim to the pink felt before sewing the sides of the pillow.<br />
<br />
It is made from:<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #eb9fe2; font-family: Amatic SC;"><span style="font-size: 23px; margin-bottom: 5px;">Baby Pink 30% Wool Craft Felt</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #eb9fe2; font-family: Amatic SC;"><span style="font-size: 23px; margin-bottom: 5px;">White Felt 30% Wool Blend </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #eb9fe2; font-family: Amatic SC;"><span style="font-size: 23px; margin-bottom: 5px;">Shocking Pink Pom Pom Trim, 25mm </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #eb9fe2; font-family: Amatic SC;"><span style="font-size: 23px; margin-bottom: 5px;">Black Swiss Dot Ribbon Bows Centre Stitch</span></span><br />
<br />
I also used a pink thread for the blanket stitch and sewing on the bow.<br />
<br />
The pillow is stuffed with white pillow filling.<br />
<br />
Felt is currently unavailable on Craft Fairy so please contact me for a supply.Yvonne Randallhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03612325052352540698noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7878230492334819421.post-40978885515393387642015-02-21T07:05:00.000-08:002018-03-14T11:54:15.484-07:00Amethyst Spiral Rope NecklaceAmethyst Necklace with a twist.

<br />
I have some beautiful large silverlined glass beads. They are lentil shaped which means that they are discs with a dome shape in the middle. I also have the <a href="http://www.craftfairy.co.uk/silver-colour-scarf-tube-pendant--x-2-7049-p.asp" style="color: #ff8eff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; text-decoration: none;">Silver Colour Scarf Tube Pendant x 2</a>, which I used to hang the pendant.<br />
<br />
Now, I'm not pretending that this was quick to make as it was not. The rope will take a couple of evenings but, when that's done, the rest is a breeze and the effect is stunning.<br />
<br />
If you are interested I can make up a kit for you at the cost of £10.

Suddemly I realised that I didn't have the really wide chiffon ribbon in stock and I just had to get it in and quickly. So, today my parlcle arrived and I've abandoned my sewing in favour of putting the ribbons on the web site. I know that you'll love them too.<br />
<br />
I'll start off with the 40mm chiffons in 25 Metre Reels. I've done this so that you can get cheaper prices.<br />
<br />

I realised that I hadn't made any hearts from the cerise felt so I put that right this morning and came up with this design.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
It's a kit too so, if you want one, you can get it from <a href="http://www.craftfairy.co.uk/" target="_blank">Craft Fairy</a>. Just click on <a href="http://www.craftfairy.co.uk/kits-664-c.asp" target="_blank">'kits'</a>.<br />
<br />
My banner is coming on a pace. It measures 2 metres when the hearts are touching. All I need to do is make sure that it will be about 7 metres long. If I leave a space between each heart I think that I may be about there. I'll get a long piece of 16mm grosgrain out and give it a try.<br />
<br />
Hubby wonders how we are going to attach it to the stand. I have the solution:<br />
<br />
Self adhesive velcro.<br />
<br />
The hearts are really light so they won't put much pull on the bunting and the velcro. That's my idea and I'm going with it. Fingers crossed.Yvonne Randallhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03612325052352540698noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7878230492334819421.post-62077446785537041982015-02-07T03:53:00.001-08:002015-02-07T03:54:39.935-08:00Valentine's Day is almost hereIt's a cold morning today so I thought that I would sew one of the new Felt Heart kits that I have just added to the <a href="http://www.craftfairy.co.uk/" target="_blank">Craft Fairy</a> web site.<br />

This is what you will need to do.<br />
<br />
The heart is decorated before it is sewn together.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Start by sewing a length of the heart ribbon in a diagonal across one side of the felt heart. Don't worry if the ribbon is a bit too long as you can trim it later.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Now sew on the buttons as seen.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Take a length of ribbon and fold it into a loop. Pin the loop to the inside of the felt heart.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUAtmLERkRN8zbGHNmxeT-zRw47IdZLSg7nUnBvkukno_OcxlVE2JtzbSS63_aSV5LviILWp2uEHSTWvCtMg3-B0q1W9-S2aL6pc4Mpbu_Ym5vekAWpLypbPSEW6TSKti2mhPCPP0odu0/s1600/pink+felt+heart+5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUAtmLERkRN8zbGHNmxeT-zRw47IdZLSg7nUnBvkukno_OcxlVE2JtzbSS63_aSV5LviILWp2uEHSTWvCtMg3-B0q1W9-S2aL6pc4Mpbu_Ym5vekAWpLypbPSEW6TSKti2mhPCPP0odu0/s1600/pink+felt+heart+5.jpg" height="200" width="178" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Now, using the white embroidery thread, sew the heart together. I used blanket stitch. Make sure that you sew the blanket stitch through the ribbon loop as this will hold it in place.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEit7q5Pe68QubLHfglr7IAkYLslqazGOBQHWnARzGikygFW0rXUUPDyV6xUwqBIFIj2QrruB1hvy4wk2LxE2b-Hul2CqmrSFkz3mA4kybOeTz-ZnGLdvPo-Tef-sA19AMY4ioPlG51e8eo/s1600/pink+felt+heart+4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEit7q5Pe68QubLHfglr7IAkYLslqazGOBQHWnARzGikygFW0rXUUPDyV6xUwqBIFIj2QrruB1hvy4wk2LxE2b-Hul2CqmrSFkz3mA4kybOeTz-ZnGLdvPo-Tef-sA19AMY4ioPlG51e8eo/s1600/pink+felt+heart+4.jpg" height="177" width="200" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
When you have sewn about three quarters of the heart, fill it with some stuffing until you are happy that it is bouncy enough. Not too full though.<br />
<br />

It is perfect if you don't have any wide ribbon in your stash. I've used 16mm and 25mm ribbon and achieved fairly big flowers.<br />
<br />
I've had lots of fun making this video so I do hope that you enjoy it too.<br />

<br />
However, today, I decided to put a new kit on the Craft Fairy web site and, as, I've fallen in love with making these felt hearts, I decided to make up kits of these hearts. The first one is this purple beaded beauty.<br />

My litle girl always loved them and her daughters ar eno different. So, these are made for them initially but for you too as I have put them for sale on the <a href="http://www.craftfairy.co.uk/hair-bows-597-c.asp">Craft Fairy Hairbow</a> section of the web site.<br />

As with everything that I do, i can't just make one of anything. I started with fairly small hairbows but they have grown in size and complexity and now they are double bows rather than single ones.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I have priced these bows at just £2, so no excuse for not buying them.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Go on, bring a smile to a little girl's face.</div>

<br />
Decorated felt hearts are all the rage. Choose shabby colours and you will create a double whammy of felt hearts.<br />
<br />
Rather than bore you all with lots of individual posts on the felt hearts that I've been making, I thought that I would put a whole lot of them on at once. If you're wondering how I made so many then the answer is simple. They can be made while watching the television of an evening.<br />

They are just the right size ot form into a head dress for a child to wear at a festival or wedding.<br />
<br />
I used just 1 bunch each of the white flowers and the pink flowers and I interspaced tham with some silver spikes to give the circlet a little texture.<br />

When you have made it long enough then twist the two ends together and your circlet is ready.<br />

I hope that you have as here is another one for you. Nothing like a bit of overkill.<br />
<br />
For this one, I decided that I had to break out of the diagonal rut that I seemed to be in and go for a simpler style. It's strange though how one creation inspired the next creation, so for this one I may have left the ribbon and lace behind, but I have used the ribbon roses to make a simpler but very pretty heart.<br />

I made it slightly different from the last one so compare them and see what I mean.<br />

I believe that I am proud as I have managed to make a necklace from very few components. The trick in this piece is to bunch all of the beads used at the ends so that they make a striking focal point.<br />
<br />

The other thing about this lariat is that you don't really need any findings. The necklace is closed by looping one side over the other. I used the new P'Leather to string the beads and it is wonderfully non slip so it can be placed without the fear of your beads ending up in colourful pile on the floor.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So, what do we have to do?</div>

In the picture below are the beads and P'Leather that I used.</div>

Start by cutting your 5 metrese of P'leather into three equal lengths.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
On to two of the ends, thread a 4mm rose bead, a platinum spacer, a pink glass bead and a 4mm rose bead. Tie a knot at the end of the p'leather to keep the beads from falling off the end. Then tie another knot after the last rose bead. See below:</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Once you have done this on two of the ends, you can add a little variety and thread the third cord ens with a silver oval bead instead.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Before you tie the know in the p'leather stager the length of the cords as shown above. Tie a knot about 10 - 15 cm from the end of the last bead. You don't have to be too precious about this, it all depends on how long you want to have the dangling beads.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Now on two of the cords only, thread on a silver faceted bead. Tie all three cords into a knot after the bead.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Now leave a gap of about 10 cm and tie another knot. Then thread a large pink bead onto 1 thread. You won't be able to get two threads through. Tie a knot after the bead.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Leave another 10 ch and tie a knot. Thread all three cords through one of the platinmum spacers and thie another knot.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Leave 20 cm and tie another knot. Add a platinum spacer and knot. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Leave 10 cm and tie a knot. Thread on a Silver faceted bead and tie a knot. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Leave 10cm and tie a knot. Thread on a pink bead and tie a knot.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Now leave a space equivalent to ont of the spaces on the first side of the lariat and tie a knot in just one of the cords. Thread on 1 small bead, 1 silver faceted bead, 1 platinum spacer and 1 small seed bead. Tie a knot trim.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Repeat this with the rest of the beads to match the first side. I varied it a bit on this side and had two faceted silver beads and just one pink one. That way I ended up with a total of 3 pink beads and three silver beads when the lariat is folded over. Look down to see what I mean.</div>
