Little Felty Trees

I saw the cutest thing on The Long Thread the other day. Little felted Christmas trees made from thrifted wool sweaters. I, of course, had to try one (or three) too.


How cute are these??? I only wish my photo did them justice. They're actually a beautiful dark green. It's hard to get a good photo in my house with my cheapy camera. You can find the directions here on the Long Thread blog. I added a cork to the bottom of the small one. I thought it would be cute with a wooden spool instead, but didn't have one handy.

Yes, friends, this is how I cope when I have eight-hundred-kabillion other things I should be doing. Curl up in a corner and craft. Maybe everything else will go away? I'm pretty sure it's better for my health than crack though.

I have found myself doing the same this week. Well, not crafting, but getting distracted doing things that really do not need done right now when there are a million things that I really need to do.

oh these are the cutest things EVER. I've been wanted to make one but I don't have any wool sweaters and here in CA, even our thrift stores don't have any. Sigh. Make another one for me.
