DIY HEART ELBOW PATCHES

• wool sweater
• wool roving
• heart cookie cutter
• felting needles
• foam for felting
• iron
• water

 

Use a wool sweater and eyeball about 1/2 inch under the elbow.  Place a piece of tape here. Place the cut foam into the sweater.

 Place the cookie cuter above the mark and get ready to fill with roving.

 Fill cutter evenly with roving.  Here's the fun part, start stabbing the roving into the foam with the needle.  Make sure you stab the need straight into the roving and foam (they are easy to break). Fair warning- this does take a while, you want it to flatten out and focus on the edges. The spritz with water and iron with wool setting. Enjoy lovers! XO
