So I had this idea to give Ria’s classmates headbands for girls and finger puppets for boys this Christmas. Since I will do felt this Christmas, I decided to make felt pouches and wallets for our other friends too.
So I bought yards of different colored felt cloth worth P120/yard at VC Trading in Farmers Plaza. I also bought google/moving eyes, different ribbons and buttons to accentuate the headbands.
Here are the final products (though I was not able to take a picture of all the products)
my first creation

lovely star
flowers
yummy ice cream!!!!
my brand: Oliswle
I put a ribbon on the headband to serve as the base color then I just added different designs, whatever I felt doing that time. I also made different templates and patterns both for the headband and puppets.
For the puppets, I made cute monsters and animals for the boys. Here are the products:
animal and monster puppets
More monsters and animals!
All of them were hand-sewn using DMC threads. I made sure I used darker colors for light felt cloth to serve as design but for some, I just used the same shade. The animal eyes were black glass beads (the round ones) since our puncher has big holes and the google eyes are very big for them.
I tried to search for different cute monsters as my guide but as I go along with my sewing, I just scribbled some shapes and put eyes and mouth to make them monsters. It’s fun! The ideas are endless from color to mouth to eyes. I enjoyed doing the puppets 🙂
