The cushion itself was made from pure cotton then quilted using a fancy stitch on the sewing machine.
The landscape was painted then machine embroidered. and inserted into the cushion
Decorated felt hat
Use a charity hat to obtain a cheap pattern. Then use an all wool jumper and felt up. Decorated with flowers made from coloured felt squares
Silk Painted Ties
Ready Guttaed silk ties are available from http://www.rainbowsilks.co.uk/ or get my DVD Silk Painting for Card Makers for the basics leisurelearners@gmail.com
Jewellery made from Fimo
Making jewellery from Fimo is quite easy and rewarding. Make cones by putting the Fimo through a pasta maker and then alternating light with dark to make patterned beads.
