A Little Crafting Fun With My Grand-daughter!






I bought a new toy not too long ago, a Janome Xpression needle felting and punching machine. While I was googling on how too use this new toy I came across a video by
Crafted By Us I thought it would be fun to make these bracelets with my grand daughter.

We gathered up some felt,roving, fabric and beads. We made yo-yos from the fabric first and then sewed on a button. Next we cut a strip of felt and needle felted some wool roving into it then we machine embroidered on the edges. We finished it with some bead embellishing and used a button for the closure.

She is 8 yrs old and really enjoyed using the machines. The hardest part for her was making the fabric yo yo's.
