Ne Sandhills Salutations! Loved your cute Easter Eggs and Bunnies! They are so cute. A quick tip for all. I have worked with felt and embroidery floss for years. If anyone has a problem with the DMC floss, separating for getting knotted up, just give an 18" length a quick swipe of glue stick and let dry a few minutes. This also helps with people with arthritis in their fingers. Thank you for all your creative information.
So beautiful, so adorable! The bunny you tucked in the basket and cut the legs off would be a cute finger puppet! It probably would fit two or three fingers depending on the size of the fingers. Thanks for sharing, Valerie
Good grief! I remember working with felt cut outs when I was a kid. Who knew that this would become popular again and for such creative ideas! Thanks so much Jennifer!
I love your video on die cutting felt & creating the Easter themed gift holders! So cute & inspiring! I would love to try my hand at this! Thank you for your video & tips!
You can hide your knots by starting your stitching by going between the two felt layers and then when you get back around you would tie your knot and it would be nicely hidden between the two layers of felt!
Jennifer these projects are very cute! I always enjoy watching your videos & love the tips & techniques you share. Thank you for sharing your crafting talents with us.
Jennifer. I just loved this video. I learned so many things I didn't know before. Thank you so much for inspiring me with these techniques. I just loved , loved , loved the little bunny holding the money. That one was my favorite and it wasn't because of the money.😃 But I will be trying that for this holiday. Thank you so much for all your great videos.
So, for someone that is new to felties I am absolutely obsessed as I'm sure you can understand. Where do I need to start? I used to make different felt items for my girls so i'm not completely new but I'd like to make this more than a hobby.
Jennifer, I’d love to see you revisit this for Easter, especially in conjunction with cards. These cute felt pockets would also be great for kids when they loose a tooth. ;-)
saw the new SSS release last night, but I didn't realise that egg was so big, which is totally cool, love felt , love your projects, might have to steal some of your ideas ;-) thanks for the video, never mind how long or short it is, it's always a pleasure! big thunmbs up ofcourse
I have saved your Christmas felt video and was so happy to see this one as well. Is it weird if I think I'm already addicted and I haven't even tried it yet? Can't wait to get going and hopefully stamp companies will be coming out with more and more dies that give you the stitch markers. Thanks for sharing!
Loved your video the stitching tips really helpful, I didn't know that due cut machine existed really cool. Beautiful work you do also love the gift card holder ideas, I've always liked felt crafts this video makes me want to go back into crafting with felt getting kinda tired with what I m cfrafting now so seeing this helped along thank you for sharing.
I love how you keep the felt rolls tidy and rolled up with the original label. What do you do with the scraps - keep them inside the roll or in a separate container? You have fabulous organization skills and would love to hear! As soon as you mentioned DMC Thread, I thought about all the colors I had when I used to cross stitch. I wonder if my mom still has them - it would make starting this new addiction a little bit cheaper. ;)
If we have to buy a die cutting machine which one should it be and from where should I buy it from. I am new to all this. And Em so inspired with ur videos that even I wanna try all that you do. Please suggest what all should I buy being new to all this. Thanks a ton. And ur amazing. Love ur work.
These are SO adorable!!!! Just watching your video makes me ADDICTED, but my pocket book can't handle that right now. Future gifts! I know that you mentioned in your video that you've saved your thread from years ago...but how would you suggest matching the thread to your paper/felt?? Just take your paper/felt with you to the store when trying to pick exact or similar colors? Just curious for if and when I start this addiction! LOL!
Beautiful work!! Lovely clearly explained video's thank you. Can I just ask ho do you stop the edges ( like on the green grass from falling apart) Thank you
Hi Jennifer! I really enjoy your videos! They're inspirational, creative, and informative. I'm glad I found you & subscribed to your channel. I love doing crafts & DIY projects and would love to start a channel as well. Do you have any advice or suggestions to starting one or possibly share your experiences? Thank you so much!
Thank you Jennifer you are very awesome and Genius. I love to stitch. Im sure you already know about not using the laminator or minc machine to use the foils. Using with reg. Special Glues on the rubber stamps. Maybe on your next tutorial you could give your RUclips channel a view of the new tech. Just my thought. Thank you for sharing all your new projects you do.
I love this! I use felt on my scrap book pages occasionally and cards but this idea is so cute! I'm impressed with the storage idea for the string. More info please.
Hi Jennifer!! I have a quick question for ya. In the video, you said you use 2 different types of thread. One that doesn't separate into a bunch of threads and one that does (like DMC). But when I pulled the Iris thread up, it says it has 5 or 6 ind. strands as well. Did I miss something or am I looking at the wrong thread? I have DMC, but I'd like to try a thread that doesn't separate. Thanks for all the tips!!
SInce I saw your question I thought I'd answer even though it's been a while. At my local stores the thread she is talking about is on the shelves above the 'regular' DMC threads. It is priced a bit higher (like $1.97 as opposed to $0.50) and it is much 'thicker' looking. Hope this helps.
I have a project in mind and wanted to use felt for the first time. I love your ideas as I never thought about sewing the edges but I like the two pieces together for more stability. Have you tried stamping on the felt? I wasn’t sure how this would work but the details of some sets might be lost if not. Any advice?
I'm trying so hard to find out what a sweet applique was that I was given when my son was born- hes 17 now so it's been awhile! lol now my daughter is expecting and I'm trying to make some for her baby - can you use a polyester felt on a knit onesie?
you mention the two kinds of thread you use to stitch these designs. i understand the one kind doesn't pull apart, but the cross stitch floss you also show (i have a TON left over from when i was younger and cross stitched too) do you ever pull them apart and use less strands? if you don't, do you find that it comes apart once you are done with the projects?
Hi Jennifer ~ Fun, fun, fun!! Thanks for sharing (& I bet there are "fights" between teacher to get your kids in their classes!! LOL). #sharehandmadekindness
she was using a die cutting machine ; there are many kinds, and each vary in price. Most if not all are the same machine to use with embossing folders. They are available on line, or at Michael's Hobby Lobby, JoAnn's, HSN or Tuesday Morning....a good place to find craft supplies. The prices vary by machine. Be sure to look for coupons for your retailer of choice. Jennifer's uses a Big Shot I think, check her link for that name.

Brings back child craft time and all I did when younger. TFS.
I’m in love with each and every idea in this video!!!!!!!
Love the felt ideas. So many possibility gifts for my grand children.

I am a stitcher, if you make a little knot and start sewing between the layers you can hide the knots inside the first two layers. These are so cute!
Beautiful. A lot of work but it looks like such fun work! Thanks for sharing and stay blessed!
I don't normally laugh when watching crafting videos, but you made me giggle! Poor bunnies 🐰 😆😉. Great tips and projects as always, thank you.
Wish the dies were still available. So cute.
I love this video. My birthday will be on the 28 of February. I found my birthday gift( the dies for the egg, bunny and basket. Love it
Thank you for sharing these tips and techniques!

thank you so much for doing this video. I have just purchased some of these this week at simon says stamp. and you always have great ideas.
Hermoso este vídeo !! Esa máquina trabaja con fieltro coreano de 1.2mm?

Can't wait to get going and hopefully stamp companies will be coming out with more and more dies that give you the stitch markers. Thanks for sharing!
You could also make finger puppets for kids by cutting off your bunny shape and leaving the bottom open. These are so cute!
+thebronwen BRILLIANT!
+thebronwen What a great idea! Nursery school, preschool, and Kindergarten teachers would LOVE them, too!
This was an absolutely awesome video! Thank you for all of the tips that you put into it ❤️

I love all your work! I just wished my work looked just as great as yours! Love it all!
I love these dies! Wish I knew someone that was wanting to sell them!
If we have to buy a die cutting machine which one should it be and from where should I buy it from. I am new to all this. And Em so inspired with ur videos that even I wanna try all that you do. Please suggest what all should I buy being new to all this. Thanks a ton. And ur amazing. Love ur work.

I had to laugh at your intro. 'It is a longer video, sorry about that'. Jen the longer the better!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Such an adorable project thanks for sharing .
such an informative video. thank you so much for making this video. you are a wonderful teacher!
Awesome video, super detailed and lovely projects. Thanks for sharing your creativity 😉
These are so pretty. Can you tell me how many strands you typically use of dmc floss?
Beautiful work!! Lovely clearly explained video's thank you. Can I just ask ho do you stop the edges ( like on the green grass from falling apart) Thank you
oh so cute! I love to sew, and paper craft... this is both! I wish I could afford to buy these!
these are adorable! ! these will be great in fun foam too!!
Hi Jennifer!! Really awesome video! You totally cracked me up when you said you had to tie the bunnies paws together. lol!!
Beautiful suggestions. Thank you 🙏🏻 and happy Easter 🐇

Thank you for sharing all your new projects you do.
+Yungzu Bass i mention that in other videos. :)
I love this video, please could someone let me know where I can buy the stitching dies. I have tried to find them but had no luck.
Another great video! ❤️ these stitching videos! AWESOME JOB!!
muy hermosos tips , muchas gracias por compartirlos
un saludo desde Chile
The rabbit is like a finger puppet with the bottom cut off x
Loving the longer videos Jennifer !! :)
My brother is in Florida doing the Disney College Program too! (If that's what you were talking about). Hope she is having fun 😊
+Erica Miskel oh cool i live in florida too
Supper cute ideas coming from a serial bunny killer!😂😂 Thank you for sharing!
I love this! I use felt on my scrap book pages occasionally and cards but this idea is so cute! I'm impressed with the storage idea for the string. More info please.
😩 why did they stop making some these plushy die cut sets?!? This looks like so much fun
i love ur videos and in love with ur voice too... very informative and full of ideas... tfs..
You have been so helpful to me. Thank you!
This idea is so cool to try even without the dies :)
Now, seriously, are we already heading to Easter? 2016, what's the rush?
Hi Jennifer!! I have a quick question for ya. In the video, you said you use 2 different types of thread. One that doesn't separate into a bunch of threads and one that does (like DMC).

I have DMC, but I'd like to try a thread that doesn't separate. Thanks for all the tips!!
I was just about to ask the same question. I bought both featured flosses and both separate like DMC. I would really like to find one that does not.
SInce I saw your question I thought I'd answer even though it's been a while. At my local stores the thread she is talking about is on the shelves above the 'regular' DMC threads. It is priced a bit higher (like $1.97 as opposed to $0.50) and it is much 'thicker' looking. Hope this helps.
Love these dies how do I choose I want them all
There’s so much difference in the “feels” of the different felts at the shop. One I tried didn’t hold the stitches well. How do you choose which felt?
Hi Jen, thank you for uour videos. May i know which Sizzix (grey and white color)you use in this video? Thank you :)
Love these! So adorable!
I have a project in mind and wanted to use felt for the first time. I love your ideas as I never thought about sewing the edges but I like the two pieces together for more stability.

Felt is porous so likely the ink will just spread.
It is gorgeous.THANK YOU
I'm trying so hard to find out what a sweet applique was that I was given when my son was born- hes 17 now so it's been awhile! lol now my daughter is expecting and I'm trying to make some for her baby - can you use a polyester felt on a knit onesie?
So cute ! Thank You
I love all Your videos. Lucy
love the felt..yikes.,another project. or. two !!!!!!
Bunny abuse! Bunny abuse!!! Hahahahahahaha!!! Great video, as always, Jennifer! Thanks!!! (And thanks for the laugh!)
+Donna M. Schmid lol slap arm shhhhhhhhhhh
Love the organization.
hi I like your videos where I can buy this machine you cut the felt and the shapes please and thank you
Loved your video. Thank you so much

+Karen Pang i keep it together and it doesn't come apart after words, just a hassle when stitching sometimes
Hi Jennifer ~ Fun, fun, fun!! Thanks for sharing (& I bet there are "fights" between teacher to get your kids in their classes!! LOL).
#sharehandmadekindness
Osm ideas thanks u do a great job best luck
Which machine is best for crafting with wool felts?
Hi
Can I know the felt brand that u r using...?
Thank u in advance
I stitch a little and I think if You investigate the back stitch you will get the same effect and only have to go around once.
+Jeanineq Gordon it is still the same number of stitches and this just seems easier to teach :)
So much fun!!
Love all of these!!!!
Can I ask what you use for camera/phone set up to record the overhead video?
Do you have a list of floss colors that match the Taylor Expressions?
Love these! Do you sell them on Etsy?
Oooooo I wanna try this great idea x
Great Video as always, Thanks :-)
This is such an expensive art! How much do you think you spend on materials?
Do you normally add holes to mark where you will sew? If so, do you use a ruler?
Thanks!
so cute :) anyway I won't mind 14 hour video long from you LOL
I ❤️❤️❤️ these!!!
adorable....tfs
Hi how do I get that machine that u are using. thank you
she was using a die cutting machine ; there are many kinds, and each vary in price. Most if not all are the same machine to use with embossing folders.

Did you know that papertray ink has stiching dies too, have you tried them?
+דקלה לוי yes i bought them but haven't used yet :)
Could you do a comparison video on them?
+דקלה לוי they work the same way and have great designs!
Ok thank you.
They typically won't post videos using papertrey ink products as they don't get a commission from them.
do you use a dye cast usually?
I'm not sure what you mean by dye cast. Sorry
what thread did u use?
👍👍
I'm addicted
The egg shaped dies are not available anymore. 😶
wow i still looking for the store not have oh well
sadly the first links aren't found
I love your longer videos so please don't apologise for them, it means more great viewing for us.
