These aren't knitted and felted, so there's no set pattern. I just might try my hand at a tutorial for these, they are very fun and satisfying to make! The birdhouses are functional, and I have one hanging outside now waiting for spring occupants. It's holding out great so far and I can't wait to see who moves in!Lindy and Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05902911165627490484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2301048265584255094.post-70419232299471448212011-02-18T12:18:30.797-05:002011-02-18T12:18:30.797-05:00I love making felted things..

They are so cool and I love the stitching you added..<br />Do you actually use the birdhouses outside for the birds? or is it just what you call this project.

The stitching really shows them off beautifully and I will be interested to see how well the leather soles fit when they arrive. I like to paint 4 or 5 layers of liquid latex on the soles of my slippers (you know how much I hate sewing!) and this helps make them waterproof and slip resistant. See you soon!

Feel free to call or email if you need any tips when you're making them, Andrea. The key is to use a sturdy wool for at least 1/3 of your layers, I believe.
