Looking Ahead...

I've been making a few of these felted wool brooches every week and am enjoying choosing the color combinations of dyed wool fleece and embroidery floss.
There is just something about the traditional heart shape that I love! First, I felted the hearts by using a cookie cutter as a guide for the shape. Then using pearled DMC embroidery floss, I embellished the hearts and sewed the two together. Lastly, I sewed a metal clasp pin to the back.
A nice Valentine's Day gift, but really nice for all year round as well!
