Rainbow Felt Tree Garland Tutorial

[@ashleyowens1093]

Finished mine yesterday! My first stuffed felt project. Thank you Nichol!

[@beverlymeaker7566]

The large "balls" of thin crochet thread are/were primarily used with tiny hooks to crochet very detailed edgings on pillow slips, and dresser scarves. They were also used to make magnificent "doilies" of different sizes--some were even used for central focal points on dining tables. My Grandmother and Great-Grandmother (my Dad's side of family) did lots and lots of this beautiful work.

[@paulinedean4419]

These are really cute. Crochet thread is for making doilies, table toppers and sometimes they will make a bed covers with it.

[@cindyhobson7715]

I really love the blanket stitch. It is so easy & very calming. You are so sweet to share. Thank you.

[@mariacummins9193]

Those trees are adorable. And as to the large balls of crochet thread I used to use those to make dollies when I was younger and some potpourri boxes or sachet boxes

[@patriciawilson4135]

Adorable. So glad you showed this as just bought a snowman that I can stitch and make an ornament and didn't know how to do the blanket stitch. Thanks, once again, Nichol.

[@craftysuzcreates]

Great little garland. Perfect for a craft room happy colors.

[@crystalr9020]

I love this idea. I’m going to have my fashion class make them into ornaments for the community seniors centre.

[@carolschirtzinger7356]

Such a cute row of rainbow tree ornament garland

[@CraftsandTrueCrimeTracy]

I woke up this morning to watch your Live and found this! OMG!! So stinkin cute ❤

[@shamancarmichael5305]

Oh they came out so pretty! Absolutely love them, wish I wasn't allergic to wool! Perhaps I'll cross stitch similarly colored trees on circles for ornaments! 🤔

[@carenbartholomew]

These are so cute. I need to get started on my ornaments if I'm going to get them done before Christmas!

[@Mosaicgirl]

oh my gosh Nichol you are amazing. I love this idea. I have a die machine and never thought of using felt. LOVE IT!

[@fabiolacastaneda-razo8605]

I LOOOVE this Nichol! ❤❤❤

[@heidipugliese]

These are so cute! I'm in. Taking the plunge into felt stitching.

[@cathiedoubrava4466]

These are so cute Nichol! I have a garland of ornaments started like these but I like yours better 😀I may have to make these as well. You have me addicted to felt ornaments, garlands, and wreaths and I have purchased a ton from Poshta Design. Can’t wait until I see what you do next! I’m super excited that you are talking about something from Poshta Design ❤️❤️❤️😀😀😀

[@leeminer1939]

So cute and a trip down memory lane when I used to love making all kinds of crafty things for Christmas. So much fun to branch out sometimes and do something entirely different. You remind us of all the fun possibilities!

[@moreiss1]

This is Amazing!!!!! I love this idea!!!!! Adorable!!!!!

[@tamarahaverkamp5286]

These are so stunning, they really brightened my day watching the video 💗🥰 really want to make something like a felt ornament for my two nieces and you always give the best ideas. You really are a wonderful person and an awesome crafter 💗🥰

[@NicholSpohrLLC]

Thank you SO much! Your kind words really made my day!

[@Anouk_from_the_Netherlands]

[@susanspratling]

Such a cute idea can’t wait to make some…Thank you!!

[@gooddollie]

Another excellent video as always!

[@nancylowery9966]

These are super adorable! I have to try this out.

[@brendaoberle2001]

Such a fun project!! That'll brighten any room and put a smile on anyone's face!! I was wondering if you could do a video on the Lawn Fawn Scalloped Treat Box!? I know you had done one back when the die was new......but maybe another idea with it would be so great!! Thank you!

[@colleendienstbier5763]

Love that! I may gave to take up stitching!💜

[@rosemarylyons6731]

These are so beautiful! I may have to try it!

[@karinmonnich3310]

Love for tutorial. Thank you very much!

[@roxytimmons482]

Beautiful 👀👀😍😍🤗

[@sueb1828]

This garland is absolutely adorable! Love the colors. TFS.

[@AllisonNorris13]

Adorable! ☮️💜

[@joannecolajo]

My mom used that tread for crochet dollies.. I love your project.

[@sandineumann1]

Super cute ❤

[@judithvalerio6039]

10/5/24 - Nichol, your link is working. Sorry for my first msg. I finally found the wool under embellishment. TE search did not respond to the 100% wool felt or just wool. It works and I apologize for the miss-information as TE is new to me. I'll check out your other felt Utubes to find where to find cutting dies for wool products. Back in the day, my mother and I hand cut and sewed wool items for Christmas presents for family and friends. So glad I found you and your felting classes. Hoping you family and friends are holding up under the disasters that has come their way. Best wishes to you and your family.

[@NicholSpohrLLC]

Glad you found it.

[@karenshanahankarenskards4313]

This is so amazing. Love it.

[@connieryan958]

Thank you, thank you Nichol! Love these felt trees ... you are amazing! I am currently making felt (mostly hot glue, not stitching) Christmas wreaths for the 'girls' in my family and was fun seeing you also working with felt.

[@cindy_lou_loves_to_stitch]

SO adorable!!! 💖

[@brianacpratt]

So darn cute Nichol 💛. I can see that the wool felt is the way to go - it looks so soft...thanks for sharing your many talents!

[@MariaNyceDesigns]

Super adorable Nichol! Thanks so much for sharing, the end result looks fabulous! Sending blessings and hugs!!!

[@tammychernow4129]

That is so adorable. I follow you for cardmaking but wen you showed it on your cardmaking channel I had to see how you made it. I love it! Your craftiness knows no bounds! 😍

[@sandiarnold6707]

Watched on Patron last night Need to see what dies I have that might work

[@julianaferran]

I think a round ornament could be a good alternative if you don't have dies and the machine. Such a beautiful project.

[@amelialesley]

Absolutely love it!

[@janievantol420]

Oh my goodness Nichol! This video is stirring up all my stitching memories that I used to do! I consider myself a card maker now! But this makes me want to get back into stitching that I don’t really know why I quit. I made all 5 of my kids cross stitched heirloom large Christmas stockings and all my children and grandchildren quiet books and lots of other projects too. I love felt pieces and want to do this project. You are just so inspiring! Where do you find the time to do all that you do! Kudos to you! Love your enthusiasm for every craft you do! And thank you so much for sharing them all with us! So kind of you!

[@hollyjackson6473]

Me too!

[@tinarica]

I love these so much!!!

[@kimcolangelo5551]

So adorable. Thank you for the tutorial, they are always great

[@Gulfcamel]

Super

[@danielleklaiss4336]

These are super cute! I really needed to watch this to help me get started on my felt ornaments. Btw, Buttons Galore is literally the next town over from me, only 5 min away! I drove there thinking it was a shop-in store but it's not... I got some funny looks when I walked in the door! Haha! 😂 Thank you for this video!! I have stocking dies that I'm hesitant to start on so this is just what I needed!

[@maryjaneblahnik5767]

Love this. ❤️ TFS

[@b.a.blessingstitcher]

I’m falling in love with felt! These trees are adorable, maybe when my arm heals I will dive back into felt. It’s just looks like so much fun in conjunction with a die cut machine. I’ve done crafts with felt in the past and they give an old fashioned and vintage vibe but the new colors available now are refreshing and beautiful! I have tons of crochet thread. It comes in multiple thicknesses but I actually used it in amigurumi, which is the making of animals or figures. It has lots of other uses tho. I love seeing you trying all the things! Crafting is so very addicting. I used to do a lot of crochet and my yarn collection actually looks like I could open my own store. 😉 this is the downside of loving all things crafty. Sorry, not sorry! 🤪 Hugs and blessings.

[@whimsicalendeavors]

This is darling Nichol. I had no idea until recently that you are not only my favorite inspiration for card making, but now you want to enable me stitching too? 🤣 my husband might have words. 🤣 worse habits, right? Will have to order a piece of wool from T.E. I am a wool addict. Penny stitching. Is my favorite. Stacey west is my crack for quilting and wool work. Love it all. QA... why do you need a new foil plate for spellbinders? Did you break it. Oh, that would suck. Also, is the new machine really better? Debating if I need it from Santa or not. Lol along with copic refills. 😁 Tfs. Pea Tfs

[@stacierisen8870]

I've been looking forward to this video since your last Flosstube ♡ Such a cute make! I'm looking forward to making some of these for my craft space. Hobby Lobby does have sample pack (for lack of a better term) on the bottom shelf of the thread end cap. It may be a choice for someone who doesn't wish to have large spools. Tfs!

[@kristenliska4560]

Mostly the crochet thread is made to be used for making crochet doilies

[@bernadettetomasik-kelly1366]

This is so sweet! I’d love to see more projects like this. I bought the little hat set from Poshta Designs and hope I have some time to play after the holidays. Any great ideas for that set?😃

[@carriearii2675]

I just love these! I have used Pearl floss also to stitch on felt. I like the color varigations with the crochet thread! What kind of needle did you use? I don't recall hearing in the video. Thanks!

[@sandrashaw8343]

I love these. I am definitely going to make these for my craft/ office. Can I ask what size needle you used? Also, which of the dies did you use? I note these are two different ones from lawn fawn? Thank you. X

[@JenAultman]

I love this, what weight crochet thread did you use & any specific needle size/style?

[@maryguikema4698]

Fantastic garland and video. QUESTION: Where do you get your floss?

[@NicholSpohrLLC]

The crochet thread I used is from Hobby Lobby.

[@carriemaritato364]

Love this project - the garland is awesome! QUESTION: what size needle did you use with this thread?

[@NicholSpohrLLC]

I used a needle from Hobby Lobby and I don't have the packaging anymore. They have a slightly bigger eye on them and were super sharp. I *think* they were a size 20 Tapestry Needle.

[@LauraRumble]

I’m going to channel you and this awesome garland but in paper… I’m SO slow at sewing it just wouldn’t work for me.

[@judithvalerio6039]

Thought you would want to know, Nichol, the link for the felt is not working.

[@pennystiltner2934]

Love this project! What dies did you use for the letters?
