Feltcraft - Making Dolls, Gifts and Toys
by Petra Berger



Enlarge View

 

Feltcraft, an old creative art, is being revived in many schools and homes. Felt is a durable, flexible material made from recycled woolen scraps. Because it does not fray, it is ideal for children to work with. Traditionally, it is used for making small dolls, finger and glove puppets, animals, finger bands, wrist bands, little gifts, and even wall tapestries. It can also be used for decorating other objects, such as cushions. It is available in many bright colors from most craft and sewing shops.

Petra Berger offers detailed instructions for a range of fun and creative projects using felt. Continuing a tradition that she remembers from her grandmother, she has tried all these ideas on her own children.

This is an excellent guide for handwork and kindergarten teachers and for parents who want to engage their children in healthy, creative, artwork.

Feltcraft includes instructions for making felted toys, dolls, and gifts, including:

* Wooden Standing Dolls
* Felt Dolls
* Dolls with Pipe-Cleaner Frames
* Animals and Birds
* Tapestries
* Balls
* Trinkets
* Gifts

 Paperback.  88 pages.  7 in. x 6.75 in.
