Trimming more of the felt into shape.
After stitching...
...and folding down the top cuff.
Containers for holding anything you like.
Stitching a felt 'window' onto the back side of one piece of flat felt...
...and folding it over into a decorative cuff.
The random colors and texture (from the silk additions)...
...make for containers that (I hope) will be useful for many different 'giftees'.
I don't know about you...
...but I can never have enough little containers for holding things!
I love to sequester my 'stuff' in an orderly manner...
...and I think these may be useful for others, as well.
During felting, the lengths of silk yarn often twisted or extruded a bit...
...providing a fun bit of texture for the container's exterior.
Next time: another riff on this idea.
