Felt Addict...

My name is Taryn and I'm addicted to felt. It's true. I've been playing with this eco friendly felt (made from 100% post consumer plastic bottles) and I'm just in love. Maybe the colder weather makes soft fuzzy felt more appealing, who knows. Whatever the case may be, I'm finding more ways to create with it every day. I've even opened up a new etsy shop dedicated to my eco friendly creations http://www.lolapetals.etsy.com/ ! With all the handsewing I've been doing with this felt I found I needed a handy pin cushion so I created this eco friendly pin cushion ring! So cute and handy too :)

Eco Friendly Flower Accessories

Okay, so I love making fabric flower accessories that comes as no surprise to anyone. Recently I have committed to using recycled fabrics and eco felt that is made from recycled post consumer plastic bottles in many of my designs. It's become my new passion...finding cool vintage fabrics and make beautiful blooms out of interesting fabrics. Yes I will continue to make my rerto inspired flowers but I will be incorporating these eco friendly materials as much as possible. It feels good...go green!
