It's that time of year around here in the Midwest-time to get out your warm boots and prepare for the cold. Ugg boots are a warm, comfortable fashion staple for many of us this around here this time of year. (Of course, being a thrifty momma I got my knock-off's from Costco.)
Ever since discovering cloth rosettes, I have been pretty much addicted to making them--and now that I know how to make the felt ones, I love these even more. Thanks to
Stelabird for the tutorial! Well, I thought it would be fun to make my knock-off Uggs stand out a little and add some pretty felt rosettes to them.
Here's what you'll need:
- felt-I like using Eco-Fi made from 100% recycled plastic bottles
- fabric scissors
- pin back
- glue gun
- marker or pen
- round traceable object-like a jar lid
Here's how I did it:
 |
| Trace a few circles onto felt |
 |
| Cut them from the outside in into a circular swirl (see pic below) |
 |
| This is what the swirl should look like |
 |
| Roll the felt circle into a rosette shape, adding a dot of glue along the way |
 |
| Glue gun a pin back to make it removable |
 |
| Here's how they should look! Don't worry if they don't-it took me a few tries . |
 |
| I pinned them to the seam so it wouldn't damage the suede |
 |
| Ta da! I'm rockin my Uggs |
