One thing I ALWAYS want to buy is felt. Something about the vibrant colors or the texture just calls to me. AND it is so versatile. I have about 50 projects I want to make with felt all the time but it's hard to find the good stuff at reasonable prices. I came across Benzie while perusing etsy the other day and knew I had to have some.
**images from Benzie here.
Are you as impressed with these colors as I am? Cue sigh.
The best part is you can have some too because I'm giving away 30 6 x 9" sheets, your choice of colors! Yes...you heard me correctly. You get to choose 30 sheets of your favorite felt colors for any projects you please. And, if you choose 2 of the same color, they'll leave it uncut so you have larger pieces. So great!
Some info from the shop:
"Our felt is a natural, eco-friendly blend of 35% wool/65% rayon to 20% wool/80% rayon and is approximately 1mm thick. Unlike its synthetic counterparts this felt is resistant to pilling and pulling, is beautiful to look at and so much fun to work with; providing an excellent start to your crafting adventures."
Giveaway
This giveaway is now closed.
30 6 x 9" sheets, your choice of colors.

ReplyDeleteI would love to make some Easter decorations with the felt - perhaps some cute eggs to hang on an easter tree.
ReplyDeleteI'm a new follower! Found you through UCreate. I'm just learning to sew (in the last few months). I'm expecting a little girl in the next couple weeks so I'm anxious to sew all these cute little girl things!
ReplyDeleteI am a new follower. I love your sewing story kinda like mine.I would love to win some felt.
ReplyDeleteIf I won I would make flower headbands with them. Also I use felt as hair dolls I sew for my girls. If I had a nice stash I would probably start to google craft tutorials that use felt.
ReplyDeleteHi Ellie, I'm a new follower! I found you through UCreate too, and would LOVE to get those felt sheets. I also have many ideas for it, and would love to learn how to use a sewing machine (can you imagine that my mother sew everyday and I never learned it with her!!!!)
