A wedding in Iceland





So my little sister is getting married in Iceland at the end of the month.

It will only be her and her hubby to be, out in Iceland so she wanted friends and family to make part of her wedding bouquet so she could think of us while out there.

She saw this idea in Molly Makes

Being that we are from Lancashire and Hubby to be is from Yorkshire it's a real marriage of the Red and White Roses, without any of the wars! 

So heading up the Lancashire side I thought I would have a go at felt making a red rose corsage. 

I had picked up wool roving in red from the crafty little sheep when they were at a show at Exeter Westpoint. They also have a lovely website with ideas and all you will need to start needle felting.

I have also got myself  a Rose 3D mold to help get all the shapes just right. Only managed to stab myself once with the needle which is pretty good going for me. So you just pop in your roving and punch away. on a proper surface etc. 


I used a foam block from crafty little sheep. I think the needles look like something out of War of the Worlds, what do you think?
well a lot of shapes later and this is what I had.



I quite liked them the way the are and might make them into a mobile the next time a have a go, valentine's Day maybe. More punching and putting together and this is what I had. 


I put a brooch bar on the back and sewed a little pearl in the middle and it was all set to go up to Lancashire. 
I hope she likes it and it is there on her wedding day to remind her of me.

Good luck and best wishes to Caren and Ryan on their Wedding xx
