The coolest felted thing I’ve seen are the cupcakes in Betz White’s book , Warm Fuzzies. The felt cupcakes are so cute and yummy looking, I wanna eat them! The felt flower wreath is so lovely- I hope I win!!

the coolest thing I’ve made with felt is a quiet book for my daughter. Coolest thing I’ve seen? … some huge floor pillows from Purl Bee.
January 17th, 2011 at 11:57 am
I am always amazed at some of the felt food out there, some items look so life like. This is a gorgeous wreath, very pretty colours!
January 17th, 2011 at 11:59 am
I’m still amazed at the intricate felted food people can make. Gorgeous cakes…to sushi…to a roast chicken dinner! Awesome.
January 17th, 2011 at 12:00 pm
Someone once made me miniature felted animals out of felt (a bear and a deer). I am obsessed with woodland creatures!
January 17th, 2011 at 12:08 pm
A Christmas skirt…not for the tree, for me! Seriously when I was younger, I had a white felt skirt with a felt Christmas tree appliqued on the skirt. It has a waistband and zipper with 2 side seams but no hem – just a cut edge…so cute too.
January 17th, 2011 at 12:10 pm
Lovely wreath – my 5-yr-old adores purple and so she “wants this to hang on my bedroom door”…other than this wreath, felted purses are a fave of mine!
January 17th, 2011 at 12:14 pm
Coolest thing I ever made with felt would be the colored pencil roll-up holder for my daughters. I made four actually.
This wreath is gorgeous!!
January 17th, 2011 at 12:18 pm
How pretty! I’m loving all of the felt flowers out in blogland! But my most favorite thing so far are these teeny tiny owls on etsy. Amazing!
I made garland out of felt this year….it’s addicting.

I think the coolest thing I have seen made with felt is soap!
January 17th, 2011 at 12:24 pm
Pixie boots in my daughter’s school play!! but your wreath comes a close second!!!
January 17th, 2011 at 1:07 pm
Your wreath is absolutely beautiful! I know just where I would hang it
The coolest things I’ve made from felt are those camera cases that look like cameras… I love to give them to my friends as gifts and they are always a hit!
January 17th, 2011 at 1:23 pm
I don’t know about coolest ever, but this Christmas I saw felt pinecones which were awesome. I also have seen playhouses made of felt that fit over a card table which were very cool.

January 17th, 2011 at 1:26 pm
That’s absolutely gorgeous! I’m really into felt necklaces right now – you can find a million of them on etsy!
January 17th, 2011 at 1:26 pm
I saw some linen throw pillows with large felt flowers appliquéd on that I have been dying to copy, but I think your wreath ties with the pillows!
January 17th, 2011 at 1:41 pm
A cute owl pillow with friends….

I love all the felt food that is out there. The amount of detail that can be put into these items is amazing. I made a felt table runner a couple of years ago for the holidays, it was so easy and turned out great. It is such an awesome medium. That wreath is gorgeous!
January 17th, 2011 at 2:18 pm
I don’t know if this Give away is internationally, i’m from the Netherlands (definitely hope so, cause i’m in love with this Wreath).
I think the coolest thing i saw in felt, was the Birthday garland a friend of mine made for her son.
January 17th, 2011 at 2:18 pm
The most functional thing I have made are costumes for my kids – capes galore – and hair clips for my daughter. The coolest? Maybe not. But, love all the girls’ hair accessories crafted from felt. Useful and cute, cute, cute.
January 17th, 2011 at 2:44 pm
A carpet, I think… I bet it was soft!

Probably the food for my daughter’s play kitchen. I even made some felt sushi for a friend!

What a gorgeous wreath!
The most fun felt projects I’ve seen are the play food sets from Etsy. It’s amazing how crafty you can be with felt!

I love this! I’m actually working on a fabric wreath right now – a bit of a different look than this but I’m crazy about all of the alternative wreaths that are popular nowadays. And as for felt creations, I love felt coaters – you can do so much with them and I’ve seen some particularly cute projects on Martha Stewart’s website!
January 17th, 2011 at 3:43 pm
Love!! well i’m not crafty so the most creative i can get with felt is hair pretties for my daughter… which i really should just buy bc they turn out so bad!
January 17th, 2011 at 3:55 pm
I love all that felt food, I found some felt raviolis, complete with a pouch of sauce and in a cute embroidered bag with a window. It looked liked something straight off a grocery store shelf, amazing!

I have a beautiful floral broach made out of ivory felt and green lace that I wear every St. Patrick’s Day! Your wreath is absolutely beautiful.
January 17th, 2011 at 4:31 pm
I really enjoyed seeing the Halloween masks made by T&T for Home and Garden which were shown on you site. I had to show them to my teenage daughter who I knew would love seeing them, she had bought a similar mask for herself in Europe as her only gift to herself. The colors that were used were nice and vibrant and very unique.
Thank you for sharing all of your projects. I love your site, it is one place I come to at night and look at all the projects and unwind.
I also enjoy many of the additional sites you recommend.
All in all, what Fun! Thanks!
January 17th, 2011 at 5:09 pm
Wedding flowers/ bridal bouquets – with felt and embroidery and vintage buttons – like the ones by Princess Lasertron. They are amazing!!!!!!
January 17th, 2011 at 5:32 pm
I love how realistic some felt food looks! I saw a sandwich once and it looked so yummy!
January 17th, 2011 at 5:53 pm
I LOVE those felt kissing balls that I’ve seen. Dying to find the time to try making one. This wreath is gorgeous!
January 17th, 2011 at 6:16 pm
Probably a tree skirt for my christmas tree this year:

January 17th, 2011 at 6:31 pm
Wow this wreath is gorgeous, love the colors! I have seen some pretty cute Christmas ornaments decorated in felt!
January 17th, 2011 at 6:41 pm
I dont know… hmm… I’ve seen lots of felt things. I made an advent calender this year and I made my own fedora in college?? I think the hat was the best thing I’ve seen just because it was a painstaking project for school and I couldn’t wait to hand it in!!
January 17th, 2011 at 6:48 pm
This is by far the coolest item made from felt I have ever seen! Lovely!
January 17th, 2011 at 7:33 pm
The coolest thing I’ve seen made of felt was a little acorn. So cute and tiny!
January 17th, 2011 at 7:47 pm
I have been in love with the felt pinecone project since the posting mid-December. I haven’t had an opportunity to attempt making them myself, but I’m looking forward to doing so in the next couple of weeks!
January 17th, 2011 at 8:51 pm
I’m not sure what the coolest thing is that I’ve made from felt… but if I give making a felt wreath a try I’m pretty sure it would be that!
January 17th, 2011 at 10:15 pm
this is beautiful.
i’m in love with felt and have been searching for all kinds of things to make with it…the coolest thing i saw, though were vintage dresses for a felt “paper” doll. they were beautiful.
January 17th, 2011 at 11:12 pm
The coolest thing I’ve made is my husband’s Christmas stocking.

January 18th, 2011 at 12:07 am
Wow – love the colors of this wreath. Very cool – thanks for the chance to win. I think my most favorite things I have seen made with felt are little animals…small neatly felted – I am always amazed at what can be done with the felty goodness.

I think anything made with felt is the coolest thing I’ve seen. It’s almost like a cartoon representation of something real…I love it!
January 18th, 2011 at 7:48 am
I’m in love with felt pillows, e.g. Amy Butler’s dreamy white Snow Mum pillow or the gorgeous pillows by Anne Kyyrö Quinn. On the other hand necklaces made from felted beads always catch my attention…
January 18th, 2011 at 10:16 am
Probably this wreath. Love it! And my Christmas stocking at my mom’s house. It’s a classic.
January 18th, 2011 at 10:19 am
The coolest thing I’ve made with felt? I tried to make some little stockings for my cats last Christmas, and they turned out horribly! I am incapable of making anything with fabric! I would LOVE to use this for my wedding, it would go so lovely with everything!
January 18th, 2011 at 10:30 am
A very long Christmas table runner… I made it for a friend… I have SO much felt and I love working with it!!!
January 18th, 2011 at 10:44 am
The coolest thing I’ve ever seen made with felt was a bacon christmas ornament. I wish I could remember what the website was, because that happy little bacon guy was adorable.
January 18th, 2011 at 10:48 am
A Christmas wreath that looked like ruffles.
January 18th, 2011 at 10:56 am
I’ve never made anything! But I absolutely adore this!
January 18th, 2011 at 12:56 pm
The coolest thing I have seen with felt was a super cute tie that was made for a baby boy- it matched those things that hook on to the binkies. Love it
January 18th, 2011 at 1:28 pm
Mistletoe! You can use it year after year. I gave that as gifts to friends this year.
January 18th, 2011 at 1:29 pm
I’m also loving the felt flower necklaces, pins and hairbows. I think it’s about time I start working with felt!
January 18th, 2011 at 3:28 pm
The coolest thing I ever made with felt… hm perhaps it was three gnome beards we made for our gnome halloween costumes – they were legit! I also covered our pointy hats in felt, they were about 4 feet tall. We were very tall gnomes:) LOVE the wreath!

January 18th, 2011 at 5:40 pm
This is just lovely and would look even lovelier on the door of my stationery company’s office
I like cards made from felt – I think it’s just so cool when you mix medias like paper and felt!
January 18th, 2011 at 7:32 pm
I’ve seen a sweet cute lil owl bird made of felt. Super Cute! Vina S. vina@theprayerroomdfw.com
January 18th, 2011 at 7:59 pm
That wreath itself is VERY cool. I’ve also been into felted pocketbooks lately with flowers and various embelishments made from felt.
January 18th, 2011 at 8:36 pm
The cutest thing I’ve made with felt has got to be cut-outs for a pop-up book. They added texture and were so adorable.
January 19th, 2011 at 5:39 am
Oh this is lovely! I have just been turned on to the wonder with felt. I made a small booklet for a baby shower stitched with the words “Welcome to the World Baby” everyone at the shower signed it with advice for the new baby to keep forever.
January 19th, 2011 at 12:20 pm
Love the wreath. One of my favorite uses of felt are the embroidery pieces by Little Pink House (http://www.etsy.com/shop/littlepinkhouse)
January 20th, 2011 at 5:14 am
Oh so very pretty!! I work with felt alot myself…..so I would have to say one the neatest is penny rugs and a felt owl! Thanks for the chance.

January 20th, 2011 at 11:13 am
That is lovely! Pick me! I am still in the process of making finger puppets out of felt. I need to get on that. They are pretty cute though so definitely the coolest thing I’VE ever made out of felt.
January 20th, 2011 at 11:28 am
Hello! I think your wreath is very neat and you are very talented! Thanks for giving me a chance to participate! I was thinking about the coolest thing I’ve seen made out of felt, and I remember coming across a site that the lady made a playhouse out of felt! It truly was amazing to me and am so impressed with the imagination and talent of women all over the world! Thanks for sharing!
January 21st, 2011 at 11:24 am
I love felt stockings and tree skirts! I think they are so cozy and homey-looking (totally a word- right?). I will say that this wreath is awesome, and I would love it!!!
January 21st, 2011 at 9:21 pm
The coolest thing i’ve ever made with felt is a wedding doll for my parents anniversary. Thank you..
shasha ^^
January 23rd, 2011 at 10:01 am
Oh my gosh this is gorgeous and probably the prettiest thing I’ve seen made out of felt! I know exactly where I would hang it… blue, silver, and accents of violet are our wedding colors, so I would hang it on our church door!
January 23rd, 2011 at 2:55 pm
Used felt, ribbon and jewels to fashion a costume for one of the 3 King’s for a Christmas Pageant. It was long ago but I always “felt” that there was probably more ways to create using felt. Thanks so much for showing us a beautiful example.
January 24th, 2011 at 1:29 pm
I love my families wool felt Christmas stockings. My Grandmother started making these stocking for my mom and her siblings, my generation has them, and now my children have them.
January 24th, 2011 at 4:58 pm
the coolest thing ive seen made with felt are those softies, especially the ones by lauri faggioni. love them.
January 24th, 2011 at 9:02 pm

February 8th, 2011 at 10:08 am
I saw a felted Totoro once – sooo adorable. Although I love anything felty!
