hey, look at that

When I get settled, the very first crafty project I am whipping up to decorate my new abode is
this one I just saw on Design*Sponge.

Genius!

Handmade?

Typographic?

Throw pillows?

Doesn’t that sound familiar, everyone?

My only worry is that I won’t be able to find wool felt. It is hard to come by up here in Toronto, for some reason. Polar fleece, I can find oodles of, however, and it may have to do for this particular project (once fleece starts to get nubby and worn it sort of starts to look like felt, so it should be o.k.).

    how about buying an old sweater or something at a used clothing store - Salvation Army or somewhere and using that - you can find that worn in - nubby fabric

    Yep, that’s what I’m going to do instead (my always clever mother suggested it to me first, actually). Recycling and re-purposing things is usually my first option, so I’m gonna try to rustle up some wool sweaters and shrink ‘em into felt. I may even have a couple old ones already kicking around.
