I’m still SOOOOOO thankful to Tiffany Schwedland for teaching me this totally fun technique!
While away on vacation, I was sitting in my parent’s living room and if you know me… “just sitting around” isn’t really all that possible. So, I remembered a little stash of felt and some towels I had packed for DIY emergencies…and I dug right in! Bill was watching the Sundance Kid movie and just couldn’t figure out why I had not seen a movie that was nominated for Best Picture in 1967…. hmmmmm. Maybe because i wasn’t born yet!
Anyway, I digress.
Here are some photos of what I created…I decided to make hand towels for the kids’ bathroom. They have a fun rainbow shower curtain, so I wanted to go with a super hero theme to soften the cuteness of the curtain, and thus, making their bathroom a little more UP on the fun factor! Sorry, no tutorial this time…just photos. One day I’ll put together a tutorial for these too.
D for "Dodson" of course!

time: These are admittedly more time consuming than some crafts out there. You have to figure out what you’re going to make, cute out the shapes, arrange them…and then, the crazy hard thing is getting all that embroidery floss into the eye of your needle. I was using way too small needles, so this was painful!!! all in all, I made 2 towels and a little onesie in about 1.5 hours. (truly, if I had packed needles with larger eyes, I could’ve done it in half the time!)
Cost: towels – 50 CENTS each at Ikea, embroidery floss – practically free, felt – practically free = approx. $2!
