Felty Rings

 Well I'm guessing most of you have seen (and fallen in love with) Mollie Makes?

The latest issue came with a little felt ring pack on the front and I thought, oh sweet I could do something with them.  To be honest I wondered how robust they would be with a felt shank, and dug through my jewellery making bits and found some metal sieve ring shanks.

Thats better, I could see this being robust enough to be worn every day.


Recently I have been doing a bit of sewing and I sometimes use a wrist pin cushion, it's rather annoying as it tends to get in the way a bit and keeps moving round my wrist so I thought, why not make a pin cushion ring?

So that's what I did.  This is my favourite little thing at the minute, it's so handy to have and I've used it loads already. 

Actually I'm off out tonight for a family meal and I'm planning to wear mine as a ring in it's own right!

These are quite easy to make, if a little fiddly; but why not give it a go. 



You will wonder how you lived without one. 

If you can't bear the thought of all that snipping and miniature sewing, I have popped a few in my shop (I know I'm shameless).

I am not feeling it with the Mollie Makes free kits at all but you have made the rings look great! I love the pincushion element too. Great idea! Could you send me a Pinterest invite please? I keep seeing it but can't get on. I did request an invite on someone's blog but heard no more about it. Have a nice night. x

Now Mrs that is very naughty of you! You're temping me away from my vow of abstinence! NO MORE NEW PROJECTS! Not even tiny felty ones....until I've finished these WIPS! I'm really struggling to not tuck into lots of Mollie Makes projects. They're all delicious aren@t they? Genius idea for little pin cushions! xxxxxxx p.s. Still haven't heard from my swap partner. Any ideas? xxxx
