Below is a short video showing how I made the melted felt cups I used in my Unmasking the Soul piece. The video is the first in a series of simple steps to make this small mixed media decorative fabric envelope (gift tag, ornament, or ?).

Here are a couple more pieces where I have used these melted felt cups but flipped over.

OK, french knots are way better than beads. I like the cheesecloth leaves in your sampler. Are you talking about the cheap craft felt sold at Joann’s?
Yes, Joann Fabrics is where I purchased this felt. Bead add such nice sparkle but I don’t have to chase French knots around the room like I do beads… may be time to look into sparkly floss!
