For the weights I have used 35mm washers which I got from Screwfix plus some thicker ones that Andy got for me so I have superglued one thick one and two thinner ones together.
If you only have thinner ones I would probably glue five together.
The felt circles are cut at 58mm using a die and a BigShot machine.
I used quilting clips to stop the washers falling out while doing the blanket stitch around the edge....it made life much easier.
The flowers I have used to decorate are also cut out with a die by Sizzix called Fringed Flowers but you could sew a button on, add a fabric flower, sew a charm on or just leave them plain.
Four down....another fifteen to go.
Didn't quite have enough washers to make twenty.
Hope you like them Jackie.

That is a super idea. It would avoid all those pins falling on the floor!
ReplyDeleteI find they help me to cut out better too Trish-x-
DeleteWaw Sheila...they look so pretty and are useful too! I wonder if Caveman 1 has any washers going spare...ones that aren't covered in oil and grease! x
ReplyDeleteYes......go raid his shed.
DeleteIf they are a bit greasy you could always wash them in white vinegar and a splash of washing up liquid to clean them.
