After years of madly crafting with felt fabric sheets, I have a massive collection of teeny tiny scraps that I just couldn\u2019t bear to throw away.<\/p>\n

Initially I didn\u2019t quite know how I was going to make it work, but I knew that some how I would find a way to upcycle all those leftovers… someday.<\/p>\n

I now have a box so full of scrap felts that you’d think a unicorn had left a deposit. Wanting to make a softie, and being in an absolutely essential lockdown my options for doll making have been a somewhat limited (Click and Collect has it’s own set of problems).<\/p>\n

But it’s okay! Because when restricted I am at my most resourceful.<\/p>\n

Recalling several years ago when I repaired the holes in my kid’s much loved Monster High<\/em> inspired felt doll, I was struck with an exciting notion. I was going to needle felt my supply of felt scraps together into up-cycled felt sheets. With the end goal of finally getting to make a softie.<\/p>\n

There are so many wonderful possibilities from needle felting your felt scraps. Not only are you taking a load off landfill, which that in itself is a massive plus. If you take this path, well done you!<\/p>\n

When needle felting your scraps, you are also making one of a kind art.<\/p>\n

No two up-cycled felt sheets are going to be anything alike, ever.<\/p>\n

If doll making isn’t your cup of tea, and picture making is more you, why not try creating murals with this technique.<\/p>\n

If you are looking for things to make with felt scraps, this upcycling idea is for you!<\/p>\n
