Felt Succulent Terrarium

Hoop Art & Felt Flowers!

 You all know by now, little projects are my absolute favourite. My favourite craft magazine at the moment is the UK based Mollie Makes, a fab source of small projects in all sorts of styles by small business makers and contributors from all over the world.

One in particular has been on my work bench since the issue came out. The Embroidered Terrarium pattern is by UK crafter Helen Wilde from Ovo Bloom. So cute, I love a good hoop art project.

I did want to change it up a bit, I wanted to incorporate a couple of felt succulents that I've been crushing on.

To use my larger felt flowers the hoop needed to be 25cm. I used three shades of brown DMC embroidery thread for the french knots, my 100% Merino Wool Felt Sheets in Fern, Spring and Moss and my brand new Sizzix Dies.

Follow the instructions to outline the terrarium and start on the french knots.

And the super fun part of making the felt flowers!

Place your flowers on the hoop, gluing to fix them. Tidy up the back of the hoop and voila! Done and dusted.

Have fun with this, I sure did.

Happy making,
Rebecca. XX
