Felted Matryoshkas



Oh, what fun! I participated in my first natural material craft swap. I made 15 sweet little matryoshkas, inspired by Vivi's 8th birthday theme. I think that I made about a dozen for party favors, and it was such fun that I kept on making them! First, I needle-felted the features, then I wet-felted so that they would be very sturdy for child's play.

  8. We were so lucky to get one of these. We got the one with the yellow handkerchief and orange dress. It is so lovely. I haven't tried needle/ wet felting yet. Very inspiring.
