Felt Flowers

So now that Christmas and New Year are over, I've finally got time to share some details of the craft projects I was working on for the my sister's wedding in December.

Before I get to the wedding itself I wanted to post some pictures of some felt badges that I made for the hen party. Over a blustery weekend in Brighton my sister's friends gathered to drink champagne, catch up and do a bit of dancing. On the Saturday we thought a Seaside Treasure hunt around the Brighton Lanes and on the pier would be a good way for the hens to get to know each other. And as a healthy bit of competition always helps to break the ice I came up with the idea of splitting people into teams with their own team badges.

As I love working with felt I decided some simple felt flowers would work best and it was a great excuse to buy some lovely new felt.

These are really simple and would make a great sewing project for children as they only really involved sewing on the button to attach the felt petals together and then sewing on the safety pin at the back.
