Yarn-Embellished Pre-Felt Table Toppers- Part 1 of 4

Drawing concentric circles onto a piece of freezer paper...


                       ...and ironing it onto a double layer of commercial pre-felt...

                                             ...as a vehicle for pattern transfer.



                                           Cutting out pre-felt rings and circles...



                                                        ...in primary colors.



                                                   With merino wool yarn...



                                                ...in a variegated colourway...



                                ...simple designs are hand-stitched onto each piece.



                                     Because this project was laid out 'face down'...

                                     ...this is a view of the circle backs (with knots).



                         Covering the layout with wool from a fluffy, dark brown batt.


                        
                                                  Next time: the felting begins!

Thanks, Rachel--Embellishment is not my strong suit, but these were fun to make!
