There is so much inspiration on the internet. It’s hard not to spend too much time browsing through favorite blogs, but you never know when something will catch your eye and inspire you to create. Recently I found a cute felt pouch on Cristina’s blog. Mine looks nothing like the original, but I’m quite happy with it. It’s now under Sarah’s tree with a tiny gift in it.
I started with a length of Papertrey Ink’s Vintage Cream felt and trimmed one end with my pinking shears. Then I sewed up the long sides and stitched some red striped ribbon (Michaels Bobbin Ribbon) on the pinked edge. The holly was die cut from Sizzix’s Holly and Berries #2 in Chartruese and Pure Poppy felt with some red Stickles glitter added to the berries. I tied a bow on the side of the pouch to close it. It slides off easily to open the gift. It was a quick and easy project.
Really cute. It looks simple enough for Clara to sew!
It is indeed. Just three short rows of straight stitching. I glued the holly onto the felt.
Another post starred to come back to for inspiration! I may have to go buy some felt for this year’s gift cards!
Oh this is darling, Karen! Such a personal way to wrap a gift for someone special. Thanks for sharing.

Aw! Thanks for the shout-out. And your pouch came out so cute! I love that striped ribbon and the way you tied it like gift wrap. Beautiful!
I have been working with some felt this year too. Love it and it is such an inexpensive way to really spruce up a project. LOVE your little pouch. I’m off to check out Cristina’s now too! 😉 Hope you’re enjoying your trip!
What a great idea! I’m sure Sarah will enjoy having this under her tree 🙂 I’ve also been reading the last couple of posts – it was great to see the photo of you and Rinda, isn’t it fun to meet up with blog friends. Also nice to see your family Thanksgiving photos. xx
