I made my first set of products for my Etsy shop today. I feel really excited and pleased with my work, especially as I went against my better judgement and tried something completely new to me.; felt brooches. I got the basic design from Victoria Brown's Felt Crafts (Craft Workshop)
but the smaller variations I made up myself. I found the project very fiddly and time-consuming but I think the end product is pretty and the intricate detail makes all the difference in my opinion. I really like the felt brooch as it has so much potential for variation. I am happy to receive requests for individualised items on Etsy and I think by changing the colours, number of flowers, leaves and stems, and even the flower shape (as in poppies or roses or daffodils) this item could be really effective.
I used 5 colours of felt; emerald, forest green, yellow, shocking pink and purple, as well as thread, a brooch back and some string to make the brooch. The tools I needed were a pencil, tracing paper, pins, scissors and a needle.
