Felty Friend from Disney Family Fun

September 3, 2009 by Linda Lanese

feltfriends

These are the cutest friends for you and your children to make using felt.  There is a pattern template for the clothing and step-by-step pictorial instructions.  Make an entire family or a place holder for a child’s party or have this project as part of the party. Have an assortment of colored felt on hand for skin, hair and clothing and yarns in different colors for the hair.  What a fun idea from Disney Family Fun

This Felty Friend is similar to cloth dolls made in the 1800s, except that they have inserted a pipe cleaner skeleton to make the doll posable. Be warned, when you have completed your Felty, it will inevitably require a friend, clothes, a sleeping bag, and a pet. (Pet pattern included)

Book Review – Big Thrift Energy

Big thrift energy- a guide to thrifting

If you’re anything like me, the idea of scoring a treasure at a thrift store is pure magic. Big Thrift Energy by Virginia Chamlee captures that exact thrill of the hunt, making it impossible not to dive into the world of thrifting. Whether you’re a seasoned pro or a newbie, Chamlee’s insights are a game changer.

What I love most about this book is how Chamlee doesn’t just teach you how to find hidden gems—she shows you how to give them new life. From reupholstering vintage chairs to transforming old fabrics into something beautiful, Big Thrift Energy is packed with upcycling ideas that will make you see every second-hand item as a potential DIY masterpiece.

If you’ve ever walked into a thrift store and felt overwhelmed, Virginia’s tips will make you feel like a pro. Her friendly, down-to-earth style makes this book easy to follow, no matter your experience level. Plus, it’s not just about shopping for cool stuff—it’s about embracing the art of making something old feel brand new again.

As a fan of all things recycled and upcycled, this book is right up my alley. Whether you’re looking to decorate your home, find unique clothing, or simply get inspired for your next crafting project, Big Thrift Energy is an absolute must-read. You might even find yourself flipping thrifted items for profit, which is a win-win!

Get your copy of Big Thrift Energy here: Big Thrift Energy on Amazon and let the thrifting adventures begin!

Happy crafting,

Shellie
