Felt flowers anyone?

Here is my new listing in my Etsy shop for Valentine's day.

A twig heart wreath embellished with red and white handcrafted felt flowers.

 

I had no interest in using felt for anything. I said I wasn't going to do it.  I'd seen the wreaths with the felt flowers for sale on Etsy and still wasn't interested.  But then I came across this web page - 20 Valentine's wreaths to DIY.  Each of these handmade flower wreaths use different fibers.  One was this beauty by

Sand and Sisal. Sand and Sisal also had detailed instructions for DIY felt flowers that were so easy to follow that I just had to give it a try.  Sometimes learning something new is threatening - you know what they say about teaching an old dog new tricks.  The older you get the more you stick to what you know.  That can get very boring. So it turns out it is really easy but might need some practice to get the hang of it.
