Hand Felted Pencil Case

Hello there,

this is a simple and easy project to make at home. As I wanted to make a small present, I thought to felt our on all four animals onto a felt pencil case.

What you'll need:

- 3 cats and a dog (jokin' but prefereable)

- A felt pencil case (few bucks online)
- Felt nails - These nails have some small hooks to catch the wook on the tip. (few cents at the discount)

- Bergschaf wool (or similar). There are lots of wools easy to felt. These have different thickness, but this is the one I prefer, as it is easy t felt with big felt nails (this one is about 33microns thick).
- A bit of fantasy. You can proceed by hand or you maybe want to make a plastic template to apply on the pencil case.. It's very esay to follow the lines with this method.

I attached here some templates. You can easily print, then apply under a piece of plastic sheet, and follow the lines to cut with a cutter (be careful at your fingers).

Once you applied the template to thr pencil case, you can start felt with small pieces of wool... Just pin to the pencil case and start "stabbing". The wool fiber will penetrate the case and will remain "kind of sawed"..

Useless to say that this is a patience work, But I'm pretty sure that it will give you a lot of satisfaction.

Enjoy. Please, if you find me in any contest, click a vote, Thanks
