Penguin Baubles!

So part of the mahousive backlog posting session is going to include some non-cards! And I wanted to share with you a few pictures of the baubles I made my friends for Christmas! 

I made these using polystyrene balls covered in a layer of white needle-felted batt and then added details by needle-felting each of them some wings and cheeks and beaks etc. I think they were all different in the end, specials included a rein-penguin, a rudolpenguin, and a penguin with eyebrows.

I wrapped them all up in tissue paper and did them like a lucky dip on our coffee morning. Unfortunately they were a bit too bulky to send my online crafty friends, I need to find a flatter idea for next year! 

 Where I sourced things -

• Coloured (Carded Batt) felts from Fuzzie Wuzzie Felt.
• White felt from The Felt Box.
• Black Glass Eyes from Torque of the Town on Ebay
• Ribbon/Pins from stash
• Pink cheeks are made with a polychromo pencil.

Here is one that made it onto my christmas tree for a bit! I think a whole tree of them would look really cool, though I don't think I can stand making anymore for a bit, lol.

Thanks for joining me on catch-up day two!
