last-minute project unless you are a super sewer! For myself I am slowly
getting into embroidery, and while doing this little project, I was still
experimenting the quickest way to get the stitching done. So, bear with me…I’m
no expert…yet.</span></div>

feature on the felt table runner and coasters. I printed out the design to
scale and stenciled it onto the felt. This way I knew where my stitching would
be and ensuring an even stitch.</span></div>

<span style="color: #009da3;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">What are Dryer Balls?</span></span>
</h3>
<div class="separator" style="text-align: right;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Our Wool Dryer Balls are handcrafted from merino wool. The
wool is felted to a finely formed ball dense enough to give it some weight to
tumble around. While in the dryer, the dryer balls bounce around to create air
circulation between your laundries and help maintain the humidity level by absorbing
excess moisture as your load dries. This results in softer clothes that dry
fast with less wrinkles and static, and bedding that stays nice fluffy. In
fact, dryer balls eliminate the need for dryer sheets and fabric softeners altogether.
Colored with beautiful vegetable-based dyes, our dryer balls are eco-friendly
and safe to use. Simply toss 3 or more balls into your dryer along with your
laundry.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We recommend using 3 dryer
balls for normal sized loads and about 6 for bulky items.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<h3 class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #009da3;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">What are the Benefits?</span></span>
</h3>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
<b>1. Saves Money</b> <br />
One of the biggest benefits of our 100% Wool Dryer Balls is they reduce drying time by 20-30%, lowering the energy required to dry clothes. 100% Wool Dryer Balls absorb the moisture from washing, allowing you to get through your laundry faster. Plus, you’ll save money on your electricity bills!<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
<b>2. Fluffs Up Laundry</b> <br />
100% Wool Dryer Balls help your dryer run more efficiently -
fluffs up laundry, prevents clothes from clumping, increases air circulation
and absorbs odor from clothing. When using dryer sheets, you are actually
coating your clothing with an invisible film which not only damages your dryer
but also prevents your clothes from naturally absorbing water (towel).
<br />
<br />
<br />

</div>
<br />
<br />
<b>3. Baby Safe</b> <br />
Creating a baby-friendly environment starts with gentle, toxin-free clothing. With our organic 100% Wool Dryer Balls, your little one can snuggle up to naturally soft laundry free of harmful chemicals. Our wool dryer balls are hypo-allergenic, making them completely safe for people with sensitive skin and for baby/children’s clothes. Plus, the wool does not rub off or unravel and there are no dyes or perfumes.<br />

</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
<br />
<b>4. Naturally Non-Static</b> </div>
Our dryer balls break the static energy in your laundry naturally with the power of 100% wool! Dryer sheets, liquid softeners and dryer pods all reduce the static in your clothing using a harmful silicone. This chemical can result in skin irritation and allergic reactions. Fortunately, our 100% Wool Dryer Balls are naturally anti-static and free of irritants.<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-OU-85Wdrx6I/Wvsr_AzGrqI/AAAAAAAAJrk/-jQxG18c1DwMKqzPC-zWQsdvanOjFCKFgCEwYBhgL/s1600/05022018.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1000" data-original-width="1000" height="640" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-OU-85Wdrx6I/Wvsr_AzGrqI/AAAAAAAAJrk/-jQxG18c1DwMKqzPC-zWQsdvanOjFCKFgCEwYBhgL/s640/05022018.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<b>5. Fragrance-Free</b> </div>
Did you know that chemical poly-dryer sheets give off harmful chemical scents when not in use? Fragrances in dryer sheets and fabric softeners can create respiratory issues, especially asthma, or trigger migraines. 100% Wool Dryer Balls are naturally unscented. If you would like to add some fragrance, just add a few drops of your favorite essential oil to the dryer balls before putting them in the dryer.<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<b>6. Soft to the Touch</b> <br />
100% Wool Dryer Balls are super soft. And because they are made up of an all-natural material, you don't have to fret when your little one, or even your pet, gets a hold of them.<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-MbMvnWLwc9c/WvssAHsFAzI/AAAAAAAAJro/KjLlNr90iSYPJtgq3OeOqiEVpyQQuydyQCEwYBhgL/s1600/05042018.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1000" data-original-width="1000" height="640" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-MbMvnWLwc9c/WvssAHsFAzI/AAAAAAAAJro/KjLlNr90iSYPJtgq3OeOqiEVpyQQuydyQCEwYBhgL/s640/05042018.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
<br />
<b>7. Long Lasting</b> </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
While a box of 80 dryer sheets may last up to 20 weeks, 100% Wool Dryer Balls can last up to 4 years! That’s approximately 1500+ loads.<br />
<br />
<b>8. Eco-Friendly</b> </div>
When using dryer sheets, they need to be thrown away frequently, taking up space in landfills. By contrast, wool will break down naturally. Simply throw them into your compost when your 100% Wool Dryer Balls have reached the end of the line.<br />
<br />
<b>BONUS!</b> <br />
Did you know you could use wool as mulch in your garden? Just toss your old 100% Wool Dryer Balls in your garden bed! Wool can hold water, increases oxygen in the soil, acts as a slow release fertilizer, and repels slugs and snails.<br />

<br />
<b>Instructions:</b><br />
1. With your <i>Stiff Felt Sheets</i>, <i>rotary blade</i> and <i>ruler</i>, cut 4 strips measuring 1 inch wide by 12 inches long and 4 strips measuring 1 inch wide by 10 inches long. You should have a total of 8 strips. These strips will be the outside and inside of the Shamrock.<br />
<br />

<br />
2. Take the 12-inch-long strips and fold them in half lengthwise to end up with 6-inch-long strips. Make sure to press down on the crease so that you will know where the middle is.<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
3. Stand the now 6-inch-long strips on their sides back-to-back, so that all the folded creased corners are facing each other in the center, like in our picture. Using the <i>hot glue gun</i>, glue the strips together approximately 2 inches from the corners, keeping the same shape. You can also add glue to the center if you do not want a gap showing.<br />
<br />

4. Take the 10-inch-long strips and fold them in half lengthwise to end up with 5-inch-long strips. Make sure to press down on the crease so that you will know where the middle is. Using the <i>hot glue gun</i>, glue these 10-inch-long strips to the inside of each of the 12-inch-long strips. The corners of these 10-inch-long strips should line up with the corners of the 12-inch-long strips, and the <i>hot glue</i> should be about 2 inches from the corners.<br />

5. Next, we will start transforming these strips into small hearts for the Shamrock shape. Start by forming a heart using the end of one of the 10-inch-long inner strips and glue it using the <i>hot glue</i>. Then glue the inner portion of the top of each heart to the corner. Repeat with the remaining 10-inch-long strips .<br />
<br />

<br />
6. Repeat the previous step for the 12-inch-long strips. Instead of gluing the inner portion of the top of each heart to the corners, you will glue the inner portion of the top of each heart to the top of the smaller heart. And there you have it, your own Shamrock decoration!<br />

<br />
Valentine's Day is just around the corner (well actually it's tomorrow!). If you're like us, you've procrastinated until today and still need cards. We've got that problem solved for you!<br />
<br />
If you've got some extra felt laying around, you can get these cards finished in no time at all. Handmade cards always add a little extra love and care that you can't get from store-bought cards. And everyone will think you spent so much time making them, when in reality, it shouldn't take you more than a half hour. Simply print the
templates, cut, and glue on the felt. There's absolutely nothing to it!<br />
<br />
<b>What You'll Need</b><br />

<br />
What else would you need to collect your Valentine's cards and candies than your very own Love Bug Chair Backer?<br />
<br />
Our Love Bug has two pockets: a larger one for your cards and a smaller one for your candy. Or, if you're like us, the larger one will be used for candy! It attaches easily to the back of most chairs and can be used at school, at home, or at the office.<br />
<br />
Quick, easy to make, and using minimal supplies, this Love Bug is the perfect way to celebrate Valentine's Day (especially since it falls on a week day this year).<br />

<br />
<b>Instructions:</b><br />
1. Cut out the pieces from the <i>Love Bug Chair Backer Template</i>. Trace the larger heart on the <i>Red Viscose Felt Sheet</i>, the smaller heart on the <i>Pink Viscose Felt Sheet</i>, and the backing (with head) and straps on the <i>Black Viscose Felt Sheet</i>. Cut out the shapes from the felt with the <i>fabric scissors</i>. You can also switch up the colors to add some extra personality to your Love Bug!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-duY8QYY4u78/WnSl_MbLVMI/AAAAAAAAJTo/EtE-5EpBo9M0WcuTA-hf2d0MI00nstEIQCEwYBhgL/s1600/lovebug_t2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="416" data-original-width="625" height="424" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-duY8QYY4u78/WnSl_MbLVMI/AAAAAAAAJTo/EtE-5EpBo9M0WcuTA-hf2d0MI00nstEIQCEwYBhgL/s640/lovebug_t2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
2. With your <i>embroidery floss</i> and <i>embroidery needle</i> sew a line up the middle of your large red heart. This will mark the wing split for the Love Bug. We used a chain stitch for this step (you can find a great tutorial on Snapguide <a href="https://snapguide.com/guides/sew-a-chain-stitch-hand-embroidery/" target="_blank">here</a>).<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-OQuHqlHW1pE/WnSl4BIcX4I/AAAAAAAAJTY/lhIRcmpoG2Ydex6rNQiF9WW6P97PqzPUgCEwYBhgL/s1600/lovebug_t3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="416" data-original-width="625" height="424" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-OQuHqlHW1pE/WnSl4BIcX4I/AAAAAAAAJTY/lhIRcmpoG2Ydex6rNQiF9WW6P97PqzPUgCEwYBhgL/s640/lovebug_t3.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
3. Sew your smaller pink heart in the center of your larger read heart with the <i>embroidery floss</i> and <i>embroidery needle</i>. Make sure to leave the top of the pink heart open for pocket access. If you do not want it to be a second pocket, you can sew it completely shut. We used a whip stitch for this step (you can find a great tutorial from Apartment Therapy <a href="https://www.apartmenttherapy.com/how-to-sew-basic-stitches-221433" target="_blank">here</a>).<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-mzzYKLmagOY/WnSl4SX3wMI/AAAAAAAAJTc/b6wsM9kDesEuAdje1-LvwIEaHJwllyS-ACEwYBhgL/s1600/lovebug_t4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="416" data-original-width="625" height="424" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-mzzYKLmagOY/WnSl4SX3wMI/AAAAAAAAJTc/b6wsM9kDesEuAdje1-LvwIEaHJwllyS-ACEwYBhgL/s640/lovebug_t4.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
4. Use a <i>tape measure</i> or length of embroidery floss to measure the straps for your chair. To do this, wrap the <i>tape measure</i> or string around the top of the chair where you would like the Love Bug to attach. Remember to overlap by 1 to 2 inches so that you have enough space to attach the Velcro strips. Next, cut the two straps from Step 1 to the length you need using the <i>fabric scissors</i>.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-TCWPmgJ1tP4/WnSl4qSA_4I/AAAAAAAAJTo/j9YR6AklXJ8KyYITJ31IuGKs2uUVO9d1QCEwYBhgL/s1600/lovebug_t5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="416" data-original-width="625" height="424" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-TCWPmgJ1tP4/WnSl4qSA_4I/AAAAAAAAJTo/j9YR6AklXJ8KyYITJ31IuGKs2uUVO9d1QCEwYBhgL/s640/lovebug_t5.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
5. Sew the middle of the straps using the <i>embroidery floss</i> and <i>embroidery needle</i> onto the backing you cut out from the <i>Black Viscose Felt Sheet</i> in Step 1. We positioned the straps at the widest part of the backing and used a back stitch for this step (you can find a great tutorial from Apartment Therapy <a href="https://www.apartmenttherapy.com/how-to-sew-basic-stitches-221433" target="_blank">here</a>).<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
6. Position your <i>Velcro strips</i> onto the straps and glue them in place using the <i>hot glue gun</i>, or you can sew them in place instead.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Vzz2kcucX1I/WnSl42CbomI/AAAAAAAAJTg/X87zLpGZOBsfOElnldRyxUeQGVHHO_eSACEwYBhgL/s1600/lovebug_t7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: both; float: center; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="416" data-original-width="416" height="320" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Vzz2kcucX1I/WnSl42CbomI/AAAAAAAAJTg/X87zLpGZOBsfOElnldRyxUeQGVHHO_eSACEwYBhgL/s320/lovebug_t7.jpg" width="320" /></a><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-4-xbezo62xY/WnSl5IFxPBI/AAAAAAAAJTo/s1CaOqaFH28hVnAaunxodYFQSYNmUv20ACEwYBhgL/s1600/lovebug_t7_2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="float: center; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="416" data-original-width="416" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-4-xbezo62xY/WnSl5IFxPBI/AAAAAAAAJTo/s1CaOqaFH28hVnAaunxodYFQSYNmUv20ACEwYBhgL/s320/lovebug_t7_2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
7. Using the <i>embroidery floss</i> and <i>embroidery needle</i> sew the black backing to the larger red heart. Ensure the straps on the black backing piece and the pink heart on the larger red heart are facing out. Make sure to leave the top open for pocket access. We used a blanket stitch for this step (you can find a great tutorial from Apartment Therapy <a href="https://www.apartmenttherapy.com/how-to-sew-basic-stitches-221433" target="_blank">here</a>).<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-30f_OUpPBbE/WnSl5EaM6WI/AAAAAAAAJTk/Sq_-QKHhE289oVQ83W6P-Itls6ZQrAsZQCEwYBhgL/s1600/lovebug_t8.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="416" data-original-width="625" height="424" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-30f_OUpPBbE/WnSl5EaM6WI/AAAAAAAAJTk/Sq_-QKHhE289oVQ83W6P-Itls6ZQrAsZQCEwYBhgL/s640/lovebug_t8.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
8. Add the finishing touches! We embroidered a cute face onto our Love Bug using the <i>embroidery floss</i> and <i>embroidery needle</i>. We used a chain stitch for this step (you can find a great tutorial on Snapguide <a href="https://snapguide.com/guides/sew-a-chain-stitch-hand-embroidery/" target="_blank">here</a>). We also used the <i>hot glue gun</i> to glue antennas onto our Love Bug using one of the <i>pipe cleaners</i>. We glued the other <i>pipe cleaner</i> down the middle of the black backing (in the back) to add extra support.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
Your Love Bug is now ready to place on the back of your chair! If you would like to be extra sweet this Valentine's Day, fill the smaller pocket with candies so your card-givers get an extra treat when they drop off your cards.<br />

With only 2 weeks left until the big day, we are rushing around to get everything ready. That includes the one most-time-consuming part most of us dread...wrapping all the presents! Between the wrapping paper that cuts your fingers, the tape that never seems to want to tear, and ribbons that end up either too short or way too long, it can get to be too much. But we have a simple way to make your presents look their absolute best with minimal effort!<br />
<br />
No sewing and no gluing, need we say more? Our Scandinavian Star is great way to top a present, or spice up your tree!<br />

<br />
<br />
<b>Instructions:</b><br />
<br />
1. Using one of the colors of <i>High Quality Acrylic Felt Ribbon</i>, measure out a 24-inch length and cut using the <i>scissors</i>. Repeat with your preferred color combination until you have 4 strips (we used 2 strips of red and 2 strips of green). If you are using ribbon that is wider than 1-1/2", measure and cut the strips the same way, but you would only cut 2 strips and each of those strips would be cut in half lengthwise to end up with 4 long strips at half the width. <br />
<br />

<br />
2. Take each strip and fold them in half. Weave the ends of each strip into the loops of one of the other strips until all 4 strips are woven together. Each strip should be sandwiching the previous one and both ends of each strip should be inside the same loop. Pull all the strips snug so there are no gaps, and it should now hold together on its own.<br />

4. Take one of the strip ends and fold it into a triangular point (like the first 3 images). Then fold the triangular point in half (like in the 4th image). Repeat with all of the strip ends to form 8 triangular points.<br />

This design is easy to adapt with different colors and materials. You can use the Scandinavian Star as a bow for presents, as a tree topper, or as ornaments for your tree. Change the colors for the occasion!<br />

We're big fans of holly wreaths! But so are the local birds who can't seem to tell apart the plastic berries from the real deal. Rather than confuse another generation of hungry birds, we decided it was time to switch things up. With some odds and ends on hand, we fashioned our own beautiful felt wreath that features a candy cane stripe pattern, burlap bows, and (of course) felt holly.
<br />
<br />
You can easily replicate this design, or create your own for any time of the year with your favorite colors. The leftover felt ribbon can be used as ribbon to wrap presents, or re-purposed into bow toppers for your gifts. As with some our other Christmas crafts this season, there is no sewing required. Just grab your hot glue gun and jump right in!

<br />
1. Take one color of the <i>High Quality Acrylic Felt Ribbon</i> and wrap a strip around the <i>Styrofoam wreath</i> to determine the length of the strips you would need. Our strips needed to be about 7 inches long.
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
2. Cut strips from each of the 3 colors of <i>High Quality Acrylic Felt Ribbon</i>. We used approximately 20 strips of each color.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
3. Starting at any spot on the <i>Styrofoam wreath</i>, take a strip of your first color (we started with red) and wrap it around the wreath. Glue it to the back of the wreath using the <i>hot glue gun</i>.
Take a strip of your second color (we used green) and wrap it around the wreath, overlapping the red half. Glue it to the back of the wreath using the <i>hot glue gun</i>. Repeat with the third color, and then again for all the strips in the same color pattern until the wreath is completely covered.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
4. To make the burlap bow for the wreath, cut 3 strips of the <i>Burlap Ribbon</i> into 13-inch lengths and 1 strip into a 6.5-inch length. <br />
<i>Optional:</i> We finished the edges of the Burlap Ribbon strips by sewing them to prevent them from fraying.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
5. Take 1 of the 13-inch <i>Burlap Ribbon</i> strips and fold the ends into the center to form a loop. Glue down the ends with the <i>hot glue gun</i>. Repeat with the other 2 13-inch strips.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
6. Using the <i>hot glue gun</i>, glue the 3 loops on top of each other in a star pattern.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
7. Take the 6.5-inch long <i>Burlap Ribbon</i> strip and scrunch the middle to create a bow shape. Glue the scrunched area together with the<i> hot glue gun</i> to keep it from coming apart, then glue it to the burlap star. From the red and green <i>High Quality Acrylic Felt Ribbon</i>, cut out 3 holly berries and 2 holly leaves. Glue to the center of the burlap bow.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-QB42WAkwJkI/Wh8ejK2YgBI/AAAAAAAAI-8/H68WegZXjkgFe55jRNtZ3hCFdnkpqr8gQCEwYBhgL/s1600/wreath_t9.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 0em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1000" data-original-width="1000" height="200" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-QB42WAkwJkI/Wh8ejK2YgBI/AAAAAAAAI-8/H68WegZXjkgFe55jRNtZ3hCFdnkpqr8gQCEwYBhgL/s200/wreath_t9.jpg" style="margin-bottom: 0em; margin-left: 1em; margin-top: 0em;" width="200" /></a>
<br />
8. Glue the bow to the starting/ending point of the wreath to cover it up.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
9. If you do not have a wreath hook, simply glue the string/ribbon around the wreath at the top to create a hanging loop. This step is optional and not necessary but may help to keep the wreath straight.<br />
<br />

2. With the <i>chalk</i>, trace the cut-out shape 2 more times on the same color of <i>100% Wool Craft Felt</i> and 3 more times on the other color. Cut out all the shapes with the <i>scissors</i>. You should end up with a total of 3 shapes in each color.<br />

<br />
<br />
3. Using one shape from each color (making sure the toe of each shape points to the right), trace out the pattern you want with the <i>chalk </i>directly onto the stocking. We did a diamond/harlequin pattern. Cut out the pattern from each shape using the <i>scissors</i>. You can line it up on one of the other shapes to get an overview of what the final pattern will look like. This is also a good time to sew your cut-out pattern onto 2 of the stocking shapes if you prefer to sew it rather than glue it like we did.<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
4. Take the remaining 4 shapes and pin them together using the <i>sewing pins</i> based on color (blue with blue and green with green). Make sure the toe of the shape is facing the right.<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
5. Sew the pinned pieces with the <i>sewing machine</i> about 1/8” (or 0.5cm) from the edge. We also folded the top of the stocking about 1/4” and sewed the seam, but that is not necessary as wool felt will not fray.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-BnbR4LlhtMA/WhM51lZoH3I/AAAAAAAAI4o/tcH5UBhHYoUAypjA-58tYpE1xzbPSL4owCEwYBhgL/s1600/stocking_t8.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 0em; margin-left: 1em; margin-top: 0em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1000" data-original-width="1000" height="200" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-BnbR4LlhtMA/WhM51lZoH3I/AAAAAAAAI4o/tcH5UBhHYoUAypjA-58tYpE1xzbPSL4owCEwYBhgL/s200/stocking_t8.jpg" style="margin-bottom: 0em; margin-left: 1em; margin-top: 0em;" width="200" /></a>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
6. Flip the sewn stockings right side out so that the seams are on the inside. Make sure to push the edges from the inside to get a smooth final shape.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-R9BNTmbTQg8/WhM6nljPsKI/AAAAAAAAI4s/i4ykLND9hAApBj1twJQzuBu5A8RB71tkQCLcBGAs/s1600/stocking_t9.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 0em; margin-left: 1em; margin-top: 0em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1000" data-original-width="1000" height="200" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-R9BNTmbTQg8/WhM6nljPsKI/AAAAAAAAI4s/i4ykLND9hAApBj1twJQzuBu5A8RB71tkQCLcBGAs/s200/stocking_t9.jpg" style="margin-bottom: 0em; margin-left: 1em; margin-top: 0em;" width="200" /></a>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
7. Take the <i>damp</i> (not soaking) <i>towel or cloth</i> and place over one of the sewn stockings. With the <i>iron</i> on a medium heat setting, iron over the damp towel to take out any wrinkles in the felt. Iron both sides of each sewn stocking for best results. Delicate fabrics (like the 100% Wool Craft Felt) should not be in direct contact with the iron unless the iron is on a wool setting.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
8. Once ironed, lay each sewn stocking so that the toe of the stocking shape is facing to the right. Lay out your cut-out-pattern design over each one to map out the placement for yourself. We started the pattern in the top center and worked out from there to ensure the pattern looked centered on the stocking. Don't worry if your pattern is not larger than your sewn stocking. You will be able to trim the pattern down once it's been affixed.
<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
9. Using the <i>hot glue gun</i>, glue your pattern onto each stocking. We glued one piece at a time so that we could follow the mapping of the pattern. <br />
<b>Note:</b> You can also sew your pattern on if you prefer, but that would need to be done <i>before</i> pinning and sewing the stocking pieces together (after Step 3 but before Step 4).<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-tgm4G923mHg/WhM8CXbuaVI/AAAAAAAAI5E/BxW-4CAJw7sPiyHGMHBknaLf1UkDOaIzQCLcBGAs/s1600/stocking_t12.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 0em; margin-left: 1em; margin-top: 0em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1000" data-original-width="1000" height="200" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-tgm4G923mHg/WhM8CXbuaVI/AAAAAAAAI5E/BxW-4CAJw7sPiyHGMHBknaLf1UkDOaIzQCLcBGAs/s200/stocking_t12.jpg" style="margin-bottom: 0em; margin-left: 1em; margin-top: 0em;" width="200" /></a>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
10. Once all the pieces of your pattern have been glued on, use the <i>scissors</i> to trim around the edges of the stocking so that the edges of the pattern are flush with the stocking.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
11. Add any <i>embellishments or additional decorations</i> that you want. We added <i>sequins</i> to one of our stockings and a weaving pattern with <i>ribbon</i> to the other to provide a little extra glitz to each one.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrom189lFU7wLIhhwf8D9YigLB4Vs3q0CKzK2E49Ecj9DJx4xGr9T0fzYQ6tWNqddRDcnzHZqOaBrZ94VdVr0sT9XDF6e-WTtzJ3KGRKM4loqLoDz6pynCmYNN8dKRwE9VoY8M_IWlsIL2/s1600/stocking_t14-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 0em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1000" data-original-width="1000" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrom189lFU7wLIhhwf8D9YigLB4Vs3q0CKzK2E49Ecj9DJx4xGr9T0fzYQ6tWNqddRDcnzHZqOaBrZ94VdVr0sT9XDF6e-WTtzJ3KGRKM4loqLoDz6pynCmYNN8dKRwE9VoY8M_IWlsIL2/s200/stocking_t14-2.jpg" style="margin-bottom: 0em; margin-left: 0em; margin-right: 0em; margin-top: 0em;" width="200" /></a>

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
12. Cut 2 small lengths of the <i>ribbon</i> (approximately 3” to 4” long each). Using the <i>hot glue gun</i>, glue each ribbon length to the inside of each of the stockings. This ribbon will be used as the hanging loop. It's best to glue one end of the ribbon to the inside of the front of the stocking, and the other end of the ribbon to the inside of the back of the stocking (so the ribbon ends are not glued together). This allows the stocking to open more freely.<br />
<br />
Now you can hang your stockings over the fireplace or anywhere else you like! <br />

Nothing brings on the warm, comforting feeling of the holidays like a Christmas tree. That is until your toddler decides to pull on the branches - or worse, test their tree-climbing skills!
<br />
<br />
Here's a fun project that will satisfy the most curious kids: the DIY Standing Felt Christmas Tree. We love it because the cute felt ornaments cling to the tree on their own and can be effortlessly peeled off. Ours is shaped like a pyramid, providing four equally-sized canvases kids can share. When the season is over, simply stick all the ornaments to the tree, untie all the ribbon on the edges, and stack the triangles to store.<br />
<br />
This Christmas craft is inexpensive, easy to store, and easy to make. We'll show you how!<br />

<br />
1. On the <i>tri-fold foam display board</i>, draw out the triangles for your tree using the <i>marker/pen/pencil</i>. We made it simple by drawing out 1 full triangle plus 6 triangle halves. This gave us 1 full triangle plus 3 triangles made from the halves, and used just one full board<br />
<br />

2. Using the <i>X-Acto knife</i>, carefully cut along the lines. We had to go over each line twice with the <i>X-Acto knife</i> to get a clean cut.<br />

<br />
3. Tape 2 halves together with the <i>packing tape</i> to make full triangles. You should end up with 3 full triangles that have been taped from the halves.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
4. Unroll/unfold the <i>High Quality Acrylic Craft Felt</i> and trace out the 4 triangle shapes onto the felt, leaving space in between. We traced them with chalk, but you can also use a marker if you prefer. You will need to invert 2 of the triangles (so that they look upside down) to fit all 4 triangles on the 1 yard of felt. We also left approximately 2 inches between each triangle.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-cMRIseLu6WM/Wft4Pok1f5I/AAAAAAAAIr4/IEE-OS7SGMYHQBMFlZRo4NCf3Sxv-rJQACEwYBhgL/s1600/tree_t6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em; margin-top: 0em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1000" data-original-width="1000" height="200" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-cMRIseLu6WM/Wft4Pok1f5I/AAAAAAAAIr4/IEE-OS7SGMYHQBMFlZRo4NCf3Sxv-rJQACEwYBhgL/s200/tree_t6.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 0em; margin-top: 0em;" width="200" /></a>
<br />
5. Leaving approximately a 1 inch border around each triangle, cut them out using the <i>scissors</i>. We do not recommend an X-Acto knife for this step as it would cause the felt to bunch rather than cut, and your edges would appear more jagged. We recommend having the 1 inch border around each triangle so that you can fold the felt over the edges of the board to create a more “seamless” look.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
6. In a well ventilated area, spray one side of a display board triangle with the <i>adhesive spray</i>.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-iNatWFW-7lw/Wft4RHvtqPI/AAAAAAAAIr4/stS72V-1LjIkHNHqYlulEzot8tvbt4zIACEwYBhgL/s1600/tree_t9.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 0em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1000" data-original-width="1000" height="200" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-iNatWFW-7lw/Wft4RHvtqPI/AAAAAAAAIr4/stS72V-1LjIkHNHqYlulEzot8tvbt4zIACEwYBhgL/s200/tree_t9.jpg" style="margin-left: 0em; margin-right: 0em; margin-top: 0em;" width="200" /></a>
<br />
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-C1DG_U3oW8E/Wft4Qo7chtI/AAAAAAAAIr4/2Ew4l6xf_dIFukkuYLpOTlyV0ATfvYAAgCEwYBhgL/s1600/tree_t8.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="float: right; margin-bottom: 0em; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; margin-top: 0em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1000" data-original-width="1000" height="200" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-C1DG_U3oW8E/Wft4Qo7chtI/AAAAAAAAIr4/2Ew4l6xf_dIFukkuYLpOTlyV0ATfvYAAgCEwYBhgL/s200/tree_t8.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 0em; margin-top: 0em;" width="200" /></a>
<br />
<br />
7. Carefully line up the adhesive side of the display board triangle with the outline on the felt triangle and gently press down to stick, making sure the adhesive is sticking to all areas and the felt is flat underneath.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-GiwRI8aqrBc/Wft4Jsy4naI/AAAAAAAAIr4/CU9wEFh59lMxQmgxlsKnFrqu_1nXReFegCEwYBhgL/s1600/tree_t10.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1000" data-original-width="1000" height="200" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-GiwRI8aqrBc/Wft4Jsy4naI/AAAAAAAAIr4/CU9wEFh59lMxQmgxlsKnFrqu_1nXReFegCEwYBhgL/s200/tree_t10.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 0em; margin-top: 0em;" width="200" /></a>
<br />
8. With the felt underneath the triangle, spray the edges of the foam board triangle and fold over the excess felt border to cover the edges of the foam board. This provides a nicer look when complete because you won't be able to see the white edges of the board.<br />
<br />
<br />
9. Repeat steps 6-8 for the remaining foam board triangles and felt triangles.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-H2ruVOACUcQ/Wft4Jm20xGI/AAAAAAAAIr4/Ki0V4gFSXKEfi8Za8MzqZCsfH3oLfbC6QCEwYBhgL/s1600/tree_t11.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1000" data-original-width="1000" height="200" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-H2ruVOACUcQ/Wft4Jm20xGI/AAAAAAAAIr4/Ki0V4gFSXKEfi8Za8MzqZCsfH3oLfbC6QCEwYBhgL/s200/tree_t11.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 0em; margin-top: 0em;" width="200" /></a>
<br />
10. While the adhesive is drying on the triangles, you can create the ornaments for the tree. Simply take the <i>cookie cutters</i> and, using a marker/pen, trace them onto the <i>High Quality Acrylic Felt Sample Bag</i> pieces. You can also draw the shapes out by hand or use other templates if you prefer. For our tree, we used 1 square of each color and took out the darker colors. However, for more ornaments or a fuller tree, you can use the full sample bag. Cut out the ornament shapes using scissors.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Gv346w0vr-E/Wft4KMxn9KI/AAAAAAAAIr4/MgQmfxGUX-EhvQNl_N3larepjV6X0QmwQCEwYBhgL/s1600/tree_t12.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1000" data-original-width="1000" height="200" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Gv346w0vr-E/Wft4KMxn9KI/AAAAAAAAIr4/MgQmfxGUX-EhvQNl_N3larepjV6X0QmwQCEwYBhgL/s200/tree_t12.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 0em; margin-top: 0em;" width="200" /></a>
<br />
11. Grab the 4 tree triangles and place them side by side to form a half-octagon shape (like in the picture).<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-h9W_FnC_l8o/Wft4LtlonfI/AAAAAAAAIr4/EWAW3zFw39c1ABqpvnReJdr6bNVNERo2ACEwYBhgL/s1600/tree_t13.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1000" data-original-width="1000" height="200" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-h9W_FnC_l8o/Wft4LtlonfI/AAAAAAAAIr4/EWAW3zFw39c1ABqpvnReJdr6bNVNERo2ACEwYBhgL/s200/tree_t13.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 0em; margin-top: 0em;" width="200" /></a>
<br />
12. Using your <i>hot glue gun</i>, glue the <i>ribbon </i>to your tree triangles in any pattern you choose, like a garland. However, when you reach the edge of a triangle, leave extra ribbon so that you will be able to tie all the pieces together later on.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-TqmOxqAqVEQ/Wft4LGaVuyI/AAAAAAAAIr4/qaiV58Ri63AYCkFXYmLcT8WlXsLJ2ux-wCEwYBhgL/s1600/tree_t13-3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 0em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1000" data-original-width="1000" height="200" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-TqmOxqAqVEQ/Wft4LGaVuyI/AAAAAAAAIr4/qaiV58Ri63AYCkFXYmLcT8WlXsLJ2ux-wCEwYBhgL/s200/tree_t13-3.jpg" style="margin-left: 0em; margin-right: 0em; margin-top: 0em;" width="200" /></a>
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Mt7P6nBA4jg/Wft4Ki37xLI/AAAAAAAAIr4/UUNR0wjkvVERxLRv8lUG9Sghifb_8NT4wCEwYBhgL/s1600/tree_t13-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="float: right; margin-bottom: 0em; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; margin-top: 0em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1000" data-original-width="1000" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Mt7P6nBA4jg/Wft4Ki37xLI/AAAAAAAAIr4/UUNR0wjkvVERxLRv8lUG9Sghifb_8NT4wCEwYBhgL/s200/tree_t13-2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 0em; margin-top: 0em;" width="200" /></a>
For our pattern, we marked 3 dots on each side of the triangles. Starting from the top mark, we then crossed to the middle mark diagonally on the same triangle piece. We then glued the ribbon on the 2 marks with extra on each end for tying. From the middle mark on the next triangle piece, we crossed to the bottom mark diagonally, and glued the ribbon on the two marks with extra on each end. Then we worked our way back up until we made it across all 4 triangles. We repeated with pattern with all 4 ribbon colors.
<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ha--RDOn_ko/Wft4MEfjiRI/AAAAAAAAIr4/ATz6ZK91bDg1si-sUX7_bfaMvlrs05HWACEwYBhgL/s1600/tree_t14.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1000" data-original-width="1000" height="200" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ha--RDOn_ko/Wft4MEfjiRI/AAAAAAAAIr4/ATz6ZK91bDg1si-sUX7_bfaMvlrs05HWACEwYBhgL/s200/tree_t14.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 0em; margin-top: 0em;" width="200" /></a>
<br />
13. Once the ribbon has been glued, simply stand up the triangles and lean them against each other to form a square base. Tie the ribbons together tightly on each seam to hold the tree together, making sure to match the colors if you used our pattern.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-DBMe1IYXilg/Wft4MrqtzcI/AAAAAAAAIr8/QKaxXJhkQcwejVV4Md8eIAT7XNBOH58fgCEwYBhgL/s1600/tree_t15.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1000" data-original-width="1000" height="200" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-DBMe1IYXilg/Wft4MrqtzcI/AAAAAAAAIr8/QKaxXJhkQcwejVV4Md8eIAT7XNBOH58fgCEwYBhgL/s200/tree_t15.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 0em; margin-top: 0em;" width="200" /></a>
<br />
14. Now take the felt ornaments you cut out earlier and simply stick them to the tree. You do not need any adhesive as the felt pieces stick to the felt tree by themselves and can easily be moved around by toddlers and children.<br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"></span>Katie Marie Bruce [kmb_artist] approached us in January this year about getting sponsored for some F-5 Felt she wanted to use as a canvas. This alone isn't an odd thing, as felt is often used to cushion canvases, give artwork some depth or material for 3d designing and architecture. However in this case, the felt <b>IS</b> the canvas. </span><br />

Pictures do not represent how talented the work of Katie Marie Bruce
is. We’re obligated to mention that these pieces are just as much seen as they

</li>
<br />
Did you know that a good mouse will easily last you a decade. The reason you’re replacing it so often is likely because your mouse pad is harsh on the rubber feet at the bottom of your mouse, or worse - your desk is accumulating dust and grime that is being transferred into your mouse over time.<br /><br />Luckily for you, our Felt Mouse pads are made with 100% Wool Felt. They’re excellent for a non-abrasive, Eco-friendly, and Oh so comfortable feeling. Don’t scratch the polish off your desk and don’t worry about replacing your mouse because this Felt Mouse Pad is made to last for years.
<br />
<br />
Bonus: Your palms will thank you in the long run for the comfortable wool felt!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
</li>
<br />
If you’re moving to a dorm room or plan to tape everything to the wall anyway, go ahead and use our Felt Double-Sided Tape. We’ve all been there, taking your favourite posters off the wall usually ends in two ways (Or both!). You’re either stuck scraping off tape or figuring out how to cover up either the tear on your poster or the missing paint on the wall. Why put yourself through that when there’s an easy fix.<br /><br />Our sticky felt tape is reusable and won’t leave you stuck in a sticky situation. Use it safely to secure your mouse-pad to your desk, keep your calendars stuck to your walls and more. Our Felt-Tape was made to be reusable, environmentally friendly and a paper-friendly alternative to regular tape.

Whether or not you have space for an actual Christmas tree, you can definitely DIY some mini felt trees, adding a bit of greenery to your room during the winter months. Let's face it you can't go wrong with shades of green for the trees, we also added a bit of texture using cork stoppers for the stumps. But don't feel limited you can add different felt accent colours to work with your palette. <br />

Step 1) Take your two tear drop templates and trace them onto the felt, we cut about a total of 80 pieces<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Step 2) Take your semi circle template and create a cone shape, glue the ends together. Start gluing the more rounded tear drops at the bottom and use the longer tear drop shapes for the top of the tree. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

It arrives at your door and you're super duper excited while opening up your package, and then there is an odour that fills your nostrils. You look around, question the smell only to realize it's coming from the burlap. Don't freak out!! Because burlap is a natural material made out of jute it's only normal for it to have a natural scent to it.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So breathe, it's going to be okay. Below is a list of ways you can get rid of the smell. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
1) Air it out </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The simplest way and the first thing you should try is airing it out with some fresh air. Burlap is usually shipped in plastic which sometimes may strengthen the smell. Unfold the burlap and lay it out in an open space for about a week, but make sure your open space can protect the burlap for the natural elements especially rain. A space like a garage or a porch/deck that has a roof can be an ideal place. If you don't have access to any of the above spaces it's okay. You can air out the burlap indoors it just might take a bit longer but a trick is to have it lay where there is a good amount of sunlight. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So option 1 didn't work? Move on to option 2, </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
2) Wipe it clean</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This process is a quick fix to your problems if you don't want to wait an entire week or so to get the smell out. Since burlap is a rough material, take a towel or rag (something that has weight to it). Dampen your towel/rag with water and add a little bit of soap or detergent, you don't need a lot burlap is already a pretty clean product. Once you've got your soap and water mix or water and detergent mix unfold your burlap on a flat surface and rub the burlap down with your rag/towel. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
3) Sprinkle some of that baking soda</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Another way to get rid of that natural scent is sprinkling a little bit of baking soda on to your burlap. I mean if it can deodorize that food in your fridge it can say bye-bye to the burlap odour. When I say you need a little bit of baking soda, I really do mean a little bit. You definitely don't want your burlap to smell like arm and hammer. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
P.S we've added some new bright colors to our burlap collection!<br />

"<i>Passage No. 160501-1 </i> is an immersive installation that takes interest in the relationship between the passage of one's body through the space and psychological change of state. Long strips of industrial felt are stacked vertically and hung on an aluminum frame, creating thick felt walls that carve out a rectiiliner spiral- like form. The interior passageway is a narrow enclosure, tightly enveloping a viewer as (s)he enters. This enclosure induces sensory deprivation- sound is increasingly muffled as one moves further towards the center, and the view towards the outside world is cut off. This experience seeks to precipitate a gradual disconnection from one's immediate context, and a gradual heightened awareness of self in a space of solitude."</div>

In collaboration with Greenwood College School, Humber College student of industrial design worked in teams to design a chair or furniture system to fit into the newly renovated area. Through interviews with the current students and a walk through of the existing facility, each team utilizes anthropocentric data to conceptualize and build a chair. KIP is a lounge chair with the focus on providing privacy without isolation. It exists in learning common areas, spaces with abundance of natural lighting and applicable for communal use. The use of natural materials to create a slight barrier from disruptions, along with a large cushion provides comfort, privacy, and support for the user. </div>

<b>Why did you decide to use felt as a material? </b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Felt provided rigidity but flexibility to the chair. It's ability to be manipulated and form to the user sitting in it and provide a slight barrier from external disruptions was key feature of Kip. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>What was your thought process while actually working with the material?</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The thought process while working with the felt for the upholstery of Kip was to make a flat pattern out of paper, cut out the felt, and then sew it by hand to create the pockets on the back. We hand punched through two layers of felt sewed it togther</div>

Is this Felt...Now it is! Is designed by very own Sarah Paul & Franziska Brand from The Felt Store. The concept was developed for a local typography exhibit called Swash & Serif, hosted by Black Cat Gallery in Downtown Toronto. The individual coloured felt sheets were glued together using a spray adhesive and then custom cut with our CNC cutting capabilities.<br />

The design rational was to combine a quirky play on words and Sarah and Fran's favourite textile, wool felt, this poster was a representation of their design and work life. They live and work primarily in a digital world, yet representing a textile that must be touched and felt. Yet, most of their time is spent publishing in pixels tying to convey the look and feel of this very tangible product. The poster allowed them to go back to the basics by using pen and paper for the typography, translating it into a digital format and finally translating it back to a tangible end result that can be felt. </div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
OCAD fourth year student Marc Weersink was recently at an event at the university where The Felt Store was asked to do a short talk on the topic of felt. It is where our team met Marc Weersink. Marc has used our industrial felt in the past for a project and was very willing to talk about his experience with Industrial Felt and gave us insight on his design concept called "Trinity Entryway Bench". Below is a very short and brief interview I had with him corresponding via email. </div>

<b>Why did you decide to use felt as part of your project?</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
"I
decided to use felt primarily for its aesthetic and sustainable properties that
compliment the concept of this project. Its colour and slim profile gave me the
opportunity to add comfort to the seat without adding a bulky upholstered
cushion." <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Can you explain a little bit about your project?</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
"The
Trinity entryway bench provides a simple yet elegant storage
solution in small spaces for you and your guest’s jackets,
bags, and shoes. The coat rack is removable and telescopes into
the rear leg for easier and cost effective transportation and the 90°
helix of the coat rack gives personality and function. Each branch is
rotated 45° from the last to allow each item being hung its own
space with nothing resting over top of the other. White ash
tenons soften the powder coated steel frame with a sheet of
industrial felt adhered for comfort without adding any bulk to the
Baltic birch seat."<o:p></o:p></div>
