Felt and Fabric Thanksgiving Card

By on November 2, 2015 in Autumn / Fall, Card Making, Holidays, Paper Crafts

When it comes to Thanksgiving I don’t do a lot of home decorating, but I do enjoy creating cards for a few special people. This card is a lot of fun to make with fabric scraps, though using patterned paper would work just as well. The harvest Button Bonanza bag is perfect for all your fall crafting needs and just screams Thanksgiving to me.

Thanksgiving card

Supplies Needed: Felt, fabric with iron-on backing, word stickers, thread (hand or machine stitch), liquid adhesive, and harvest Button Bonanza bag

Steps:

Felt Heart

  1. Stitch a scrap of fabric, white trim, and felt heart onto a piece of white cardstockSewing Felt Heart
  2. Cut out hearts from a fabric scrap that have adhesive backing and iron them onto the card. Ironing fabric hearts
  3. Ink around edges of white cardstock if desired
  4. The final and fun part – adhere down buttons as desired and add word strips as well.

Beyond Thanksgiving, this simple card would be great for any holiday or occasion – and is a lot of fun to make! Don’t forget that you can create this design with either fabric or patterned paper.

Felt Flower Clips

By on April 18, 2014 in Back to School, Holidays

These cute little felt flower clips are great to create and make for Teacher Appreciation and Mothers Day gifts.  They are easy and fun!

Felt Flower Clips BGM

You only need  BUTTONS (I used my Laura Kelly Brights Mix) giant paper clips (could use little ones too of course), felt (I used Kunin Group) and Aleene’s Max Tacky Glue.  Cut out your felt flower layers then glue them together.  Add a few buttons and wa-lah, you have super cute clips that can be used to hold paper together.

Steps

They make great bookmarks too and would be fun packaged with a journal or a cookbook or a gift card to a book store.  I love this one packaged with a writing journal to give to a teacher.

Journal

What other ways can you think of to use these giant clips.   I wonder how they would work to hold bags of chips closed.

Happy Creating,

Laura

DIY: Felt Ornaments with Snowman Buttons

By on December 11, 2013 in Christmas, Holidays

I love to make ornaments for my daughter, nieces, and nephew. When I was a girl, my grandfather made all the children in the family wood ornaments and I treasure them more than words can say. My grandfather has passed away so I’ve taken over the ornament making duties.  Instead of wood, I make felt ornaments.They are different every year, but you can be sure they usually include buttons and embroidery! The Snowman Medley buttons by Vicki Schreiner were a great inspiration for this year’s ornaments. This project is great to work on while you are watching your favorite holiday movie, just cut out the pieces and stitch while you sip cocoa and put your feet up for a minute.

Snowman Oranment Close-up

Supplies for felt ornaments

  • Felt in 2-3 holiday colors & white
  • Snowman Medley Buttons (Great news! These are on sale! Click here to get the coupon!)
  • Embroidery Floss
  • Basic sewing supplies
  • Craft Glue
  • Ribbon cut to a 4″ length

Instructions for felt ornaments

1. Cut two, 2 1/2″ circles from felt.  They can be the same color or different.  One circle will be the large background of your felt ornament and one will be the back.

2. Cut one, 2″circle from a coordinating felt color.

3. Cut one, 1″ circle from white felt.  This will be the snowman’s body.

4.  Place the 2 1/2″ circle on your work surface.

Snowman Stack 1

5.  Lay the 2″ circle in the middle of the larger circle.  Tack it down with a drop of glue.

Snowman Stack 2

6.  Place the snowman body onto the 2″ circle and tack it down with glue.  Make sure you place the snowman body towards the bottom of the felt to allow for room for the snowman button.

Snowman Stack 3

7.  Using scissors, clip the shank off the back of the snowman button and glue it down.

8.  Now it’s time to stitch!  First stitch the 2″ circle onto the 2 1/2″ circle.  I used a simple running stitch to do this.

9. Stitch the snowman body down.  I used a running stitch to attach the body to the ornament, then added some arms with a straight stitch and coal button French knots.  Play with the position of the arms on the snowman as this gives the little guy some personality.  Is he throwing his arms up in delight?  Keeping them by his side?  Pointing the way to the North Pole?

9.  Once everything is stitched into place on the front, it’s time to stitch the back felt circle to the front. You want to do this last as the back piece will cover all your stitching on the front piece.  First, fold your ribbon piece in half and tuck it behind your stitched, front circle, at the top.  Then place the back circle of felt on.  Pin it all in place and do a blanket or running stitch to hold it all together.

Snowman Ornaments

I hope you enjoy making holiday ornaments this year.  Maybe you will even start a tradition of a yearly handmade ornament at your house!

Button and Felt Halloween Wreath

By on October 7, 2013 in Autumn / Fall, Holidays

Halloween Wreath

I’m not into the traditional, spooky look of typical Halloween décor.  I like cute and cute means buttons and felt.  I created this Halloween wreath with that in mind.  I love how the black and white reminds me striped witch’s stockings!

Supplies

  • 10″ Styrofoam wreath
  • Black and white felt, cut into 8″ x 2″ strips
  • Orange felt
  • Black buttons
  • Glue
  • Flower shaped die and die cutting machine.  (optional)

Instructions to make a button and felt Halloween wreath

  1. Wrap the black and white strips of felt around the wreath, alternating between the black and white felt. Glue into place.
  2. Die cut flower & leave shapes from white, black, and orange felt.  If you don’t have a die cut machine, simply cut the shapes by hand.
  3. Glue the flowers and leaves onto the wreath.

Halloween Wreath Close-Up

4. Glue buttons into center of flowers.  Tip: If you want the flower centers to have little extra pop, slide white-topped pins into the button holes.  So cute!

Burlap and Buttons Cuff

By on July 24, 2013 in Jewelry, Wearable

Short-sleeved, summer tops demand a good burlap and buttons cuff, don’t you think?  Create this simple and rustic burlap cuff for your next walk on the beach.  It’s hip and cool and so easy to make!

Cuff Beauty Shot

Supplies:

  • Burlap cut to 10″ by 6″
  • Assorted colors of felt scraps
  • Buttons
  • Embroidery floss & thread

Instructions to make a burlap and buttons cuff:

1. Fold the burlap into thirds to create a long strip measuring 10″ x 2″.  Pin in place and stitch along the edges.

Putting Cuff together

2. Using felt scraps, cut out petals and leaves to form a flower.  Arrange in the center of the burlap rectangle and using embroidery thread, stitch them into place.

3. Stitch buttons into place.  Use them for the center of the flower.  You can really go crazy and add more into the design. (I strongly believe you can never have too many buttons on a project!)

Sew on felt pieces and buttons

4.  Once the design is stitched in place, use embroidery thread to attach the two short ends of the cuff together.

Note: I measured my wrist at the beginning of the project and made sure that I could slip the cuff on and off.  If you prefer a tighter fitting cuff, measure your wrist size and then use a hook & loop, snap, or BUTTON closure to secure the cuff on your wrist.

Thanks for getting crafty with me today!  For more button crafts, stitching and lifestyle ideas visit me on my blog at www.laurabraydesigns.com.

Felt Easter Egg Treat Pouches

By on March 26, 2013 in Holidays, Kids Crafts

Use felt scraps and buttons to create cute little felt Easter eggs with a hidden surprise. Each little egg is actually a pouch. Each has a pocket in the back so you can put a little treat. You can make your eggs whatever size you like, I made these just big enough to hide a single little chocolate kiss. Add buttons to accent each egg, complimenting colors and adding a little bit of cute fun to each piece.  If you want to make them larger to hold a gift card you can.

Mini felt Easter Egg treat pouches

 Directions and materials to make the felt Easter egg:

Fiesta buttons are perfect for this Easter project! It’s a nice mix of spring colors you can mix and match with purples, greens, blues and yellows too. You can find the full tutorial to this project on my site. Learn how to make your own Mini felt Easter egg pouches.

Sweet Valentine hearts with little buttons and BIG Love!

By on January 29, 2013 in Holidays, Valentine’s Day

Sweet sweet Valentine hearts!  Little buttons are so fun to work with.  This project is so simple and so adorable that it is a Valentines Day must –do!

Directions to make sweet Valentine heart:

Using sharp fabric scissors, cut felt hearts measuring approximately 2 inches wide and 2 inches tall.

sweet valentine heart buttons

I like Kunon felt because it is thick and soft.  Stack several buttons on each felt heart and sew through the holes from top to bottom and back up through to the top.  Tie a knot on top of the button stack to secure the buttons.  For a more colorful effect, use different colored floss from the top button in the stack.

These sassy little button/felt hearts make a great addition to any valentine treat.  You can use them in many fun ways including a decoration on a treat box or bag.  To adhere them to your surface of choice, choose the glue that works the best for that surface.  I recommend Aleene’s Tacky Glue for most crafting projects that work with felt.

Valentine Felt Buttons Pkg

If you really love stitching, you can turn a piece of felt into an envelope with a few quick stitches up each side and add a felt heart button stack to close up a love letter with a special touch.  I added ribbon to mine too!  You can also add one to a little clothespin and attach to a Valentine’s Day Treat!  This pretzel treat is super yummy.  You can get the recipe on Laura’s Inklings.
Felt Button Heart BG

Materials needed sweet Valentine heart:

Red, Pink and White Buttons (Laura Kelly’s Bright Colors), Red, Pink and White Embroidery Floss, Red and Pink Felt, Embroidery Needle and Scissors.

I really hope you enjoy making the sweet valentine heart as much as I did.

A DIY on How to Make a No Sew Tutu Tutorial Embellished With Felt Leaves & Buttons

By on October 1, 2012 in Holidays, Wearable

 no sew tutu tutorial

Good Morning! Today I have a stepped up version of a no sew tutu tutorial from a great DIY blog called – Skip To My Lou. I followed all of her steps but where she stops is where I picked up to make this fun and oh so seasonally perfect button embellished tutu! Here’s how I just kicked her’s up a notch – Enjoy!

no sew tutu tutorial Autumn Forest Nymph Tutu

Find an adorable little girl who you can transform into an Autumn Forest Nymph!!

 

Direction to make a  no sew tutu tutorial/ Autumn Forest Nymph Tutu

 

Follow tutorial found on Skip To My Lou’s Blog (http://www.skiptomylou.org/2011/11/01/no-sew-tutu-tutorial/) but cut away the excess elastic.

 

Add a bit of superglue to the knot to be sure it is held securely.

 

Wrap the ribbon around your finger to measure out how much ribbon will be needed to fit round the knot and still have plenty of room to pass the other length of ribbon through.

 

Wrap the ribbon around the knot and hot glue in place.

 

Be sure to keep edges of ribbon even and hold end of ribbon in glue until glue cools.

 

Pass the ribbon through the loop and tie into a perky little bow.

 

Embellish the center of the bow with a large button that has a bow of hemp tied through the center.

 

Gather a few different colors of Autumn colored felts.

 

Cut felt into approximately 2″ x 3″ rectangles.

 

Fold rectangle in half and cut a half leaf shape on fold.

 

Open to reveal leaf shape.

 

Repeat with additional colors of felt until you have a good assortment of felt leaves.

 

Place leaves all over tutu before gluing into place to be sure you have a good mix of colors and spacing.

 

CAREFULLY adhere using hot glue. Be careful as the glue will go right through the tulle if you aren’t careful!

 

Using either heavy duty scissors or a button shank remover tool, remove the button shanks from as many buttons as you glued leaves.

 

Carefully adhere a button to the top of each leaf on the tutu.

 

Finish gluing a button to each leaf to finish embellishing the entire tutu.

 

Find an adorable little girl who you can transform into an Autumn Forest Nymph!!

 

I hope you have enjoyed this  no sew tutu tutorial /Autumn Forest Nymph Tutu.  It was fun and easy to make and my daughters love it.

Button Bon Bons by Laura Bray

Button Bon Bons by Laura Bray

 

I love Valentine’s Day, but my hips don’t.  If you give me a box of chocolates, I will eat it!  So I whipped-up some calorie-free, faux chocolates.  Tucked into an old chocolate box (of which I have more than a few, ahem), they make a darling Valentine vignette.  Or pack up a few as party favors.  Here’s the recipe:

 

Button Bon Bons for Valentine's Day

 

Button Bon Bons

Ingredients:

  • Brown felt, cut into 3″ circles.  I just traced the bottom of a can to get my circle.  Use light and dark brown colored felts for milk and dark chocolates!  White works too.
  • Needle & thread
  • Stuffing
  • Buttons.  The colors in Buttons Galore & More Confection Button Jar are perfect!
  • Mini-cupcake wrappers
  • Craft glue
  • Candy box

Instructions:

  1. Sew a running stitch around the outside of the felt circle.  Pull ends like you are making a yo yo.  Before tying them, stuff the bon bon .
  2. Sew buttons onto top of felt bon bon.  Get creative!  Stack them up!
  3. Apply some glue to the bottom of a mini-cupcake wrapper, and place the felt bon bon into the wrapper.
  4. Arrange the bon bons in a candy box.
  5. Enjoy them, guilt-free!

Valentine's Day Countdown Calendar

By on January 30, 2012 in Holidays, Valentine’s Day

 

If your little one is anything like mine, you pretty much start looking forward to Valentine’s Day right after Christmas.  I created this felt and button Valentine’s Day Countdown Calendar to channel some of my daughter’s excitement.

 

 

Supplies:

  • White felt
  • Red felt
  • Pink felt
  • Wave rotary cutter
  • Sewing machine
  • Buttons-I used Buttons Galore and More’s Raspberry Bulk Pack, because you can never have too many pink buttons!
  • Embroidery floss & Needle
  • Ink jet, printable fabric
  • 13″ wood dowel
  • Red & white bakery twine

Instructions:

  1. Cut a piece of white felt into a 17″ x 11″ rectangle.
  2. Fold one short side over 1″ then sew to create a pocket to put your dowel through later.
  3. Trim other short end using a wave rotary cutter or pinking shears.
  4. Cut a 7″ x 3″ rectangle from the pink felt.
  5. Using your printable fabric and word processing software, create a sign for the top of your calendar.  Mine says “Be My Valentine”.
  6. Cut the printable fabric into a 6.5″ x 2.25″  rectangle.
  7. Place pink felt triangle, centered and about 1″ inch down from top of white piece of felt. Remember, the top of your calendar will be where you stitched a pocket for the dowel.  Pin and sew.
  8. Center your printable fabric on the pink rectangle.  Pin and sew.
  9. Cut 14 2″ x 2″ squares from your red felt.
  10. Sew one pink button into the center of each red felt square.  I found the middle by folding the square in half, finger pressing, then folding it the other direction and finger pressing.  Attach you button where the lines cross.  Easy!
  11. Cut fourteen hearts from your white felt.  To get evenly sized hearts, I cut 2″ x 2″ squares from the white felt, folded them in half and cut half hearts.
  12. Carefully cut a small slit into the center of each heart.
  13. Measure down 1/2″ from the pink felt and 1/2″ in from edge of white felt.  Place your first red square there and pin.  Measure 1/2″ over to the right and pin.  Continue pinning on red squares, making sure you line them up evenly.  Sew the squares onto the fabric.  You can use your sewing machines to do this (just be careful not to run over the buttons) or attach them using a cute embroidery stitch.
  14. Cut a 5″ x 3″ rectangle from the pink felt.  Using your wave rotary cutters or pinking shears, cut a decorate edge along one of the long sides.
  15. Cut a 5″ x 1.5″ rectangle from the red felt.  Using your wave rotary cutters or pinking shears, cut a decorate edge along one of the long sides.  If you want to add a decorative ribbon, sew it on now.
  16. Place the red felt rectangle onto the pink felt rectangle, lining up the straight, long edge.  Sew three sides together, leaving the long, decorate edge of the red rectangle open.  You now have a pocket for your extra hearts.
  17. Sew the pocket onto the white base, 1/2″ down from the last row of red squares, 1/2″ from the right side of the white base.
  18. Cut out additional felt hearts in pink, red, and white and sew onto the calendar randomly.  Use cute embroidery stitches to attach them.
  19. Slide dowel through the top pocket of your calendar.  Tie baker’s twine to end of dowels and hang.

You are done!  Store your white hearts in the pocket.  As each day dawns, allow your child to button a heart onto one of the red squares.  When the all the squares are full, it’s Valentine’s Day!  Use the now empty pocket to store a few Valentine’s and enjoy your calendar for a couple of extra days after the holiday.

 

 

Valentine Countdown Calendar by Laura Bray

 

I know this calendar is a lot of work, but I was able to get mine done in about 3 hours total.  I think it’s worth the work-after all it’s a heirloom item.

Shamrock Treat Bag

By on March 15, 2011 in Holidays

DSC00602-1 

Did your little one just tell you that you need to make party favors for school on St Patricks day? No worries, Laura Kelly has you covered.

Cut a large shamrock out of dark green felt and a smaller shamrock out of light green felt. Laura used pinking shears to give her shamrock a decorative edge.

Sew buttons (or glue them) onto the light green felt and then glue the smaller shamrock onto the larger one.

Attach the finished shamrock to a ribbon or whatever you might have on hand and attach it to the treat bag.
