DIY Cute Felted Lip Balm Pockets · Craftwhack

Something I find funny virtually my sis is that she hates felt. I discovered this ane day when we were Christmas shopping, and I shoved by her and knocked downwardly some old ladies to inspect a felt ornament more closely that I had spied across the shop.

After I oohed and aahed over it, and said something vivid like, "Isn't this beautiful?!?!?!" She said these 4 words: "I don't similar felt."

Did you lot experience that? That pit in your stomach that could but mean y'all must at present dis-associate yourself with a close member of your family? Afterwards buying her thirty felt ornaments for Christmas, I wondered just why that had struck me and then strongly, and I supposed information technology was because I had such a stiff, visceral affinity for all things felted, I assumed everybody else did, too.

In any result, since you probably do as well, or you wouldn't accept clicked over to this mail, I shall show you how to brand little felted embroidered lip lotion pouches to hand out to all of your truthful loves on Valentines day.

*Curlicue to the bottom for a surprise variation on this craft. It'South AWESOME.

Uno. Buy felt and embroidery thread. I got both from this lovely Etsy store, because the craft stores only have the kind of felt that makes y'all sneer, gyre your eyes, and stomp away.

Dos. Cut your pouch pieces out. I lay my lip lotion downward and eyeballed the size, merely information technology is approximately iii 1/2″ by i 3/4″, or 8 iii/four cm by iv 3/four cm. Something similar that.

Tres. Embroider pretty lilliputian things onto one side (or both) with contrasting embroidery floss. Mine feature: ten'due south, french knots, a heart, and something resembling a rib muzzle.

Quatro. Sew upwards the two sides of your pouch (I pinned mine together first to avoid slippage.)

Want to run into the mystery variation on this project?! You tin can totally brand a tampon cozy, too! BONUS! BONUS!
