Lots and lots of white felt

[ecomommy]

Hello,

DH rescued a ton of white felt after some neighbors used it for moving. I washed it up and it looks like 4-6 yards. My question is what can I do with it? Does anyone have any good ideas?

Thanks!

Hi, I've got lots too, and I saw a cute idea for a string of snowmen with different scarves etc that are hanging onto each other by holding their hands. The snowmen were slightly stuffed and puffy. The arms were basically twine with mittens at the middle that were strung through the body of the snowman, and buttons and contrasting pieces of felt were used to make up the faces and scarves.

I'm thinking of making a sort of countdown calendar, by making 24 different snowmen on the string, and having a little pocket at the back where there is either a little treat for a child to open, or there is a note for the family to do something special together that day, to help count down the days until christmas!

Hope that inspires you! If I find the link, I'll add it later.:D

I just saw, in a store window, a "draft blocker/dodger" made in the shape of a bunch of snowmen standing next to each other... flat along the bottom to block the draft, of course, then snowpeople with different heights/genders/styles/outfits. It was pretty cute, and could definitely be made of white felt!
