Those are fabulous! I especially like the blue one with the skull.

How do you make them, are they just cut out from felt and glued or stitched together? And did you make them freestyle, or with a pattern? I'd like to make something similar for a hat I knit.

You can do them anyway! WE stitch some and glue the others. WE do have little cardboards cutouts of shapes we like to make it a bit easier but we have freestyled some. Just be creative!

So nice! There is defenitly a huge (untapped) market for cute handmade jewelry. I've pretty much stopped looking in stores since you can find an indie designer for ANYTHING these days. They seem to hide though :)

Inspired by mietteisass, I made this flower. It's adorning my winter hat now.

I also made a brooch:

It's inspired by these - http://www.lebkuchen-markt.de/images/lebkuchenherz_individuell.jpg - they are gingerbread hearts that you can buy at fairs and that you usually give to your boyfriend / girlfriend. Mine says "Göre" which roughly translates to "brat" or "naughty girl".

Thanks for the inspiration! :)

Ohhhh the flower is way cute! Good for you!!!!! I love it.

Ohhh Troll! You are my new hero. I was wondering if anyone would notice the apostrophe. Cookies for you!

I do that alot in my threads. I have posted on many boards and no one has ever notice the apostrophes.
