You Will Need (5 things)

  • Wool Roving
  • Feather(s)
  • Seed Beads
  • Felt
  • Glue Gun

Steps (4 steps, 110 minutes)

  1. 1

    I cut out a fleur de lis pattern and put it on my felting board and
    just laid the roving on top and needle felted it till it was even all around the edges.

  2. 2

    Next, I beaded 6 strings between 3 and 4 inches with 2 sets of three colors of beads. I used purple, gold and green for mardis gras. Then I looped the beads and tied the ends in the back of the fleur de lis.

  3. 3

    Feathers are glued on next and I used the same color theme. Gold, green, and purple. Just a dab of hot glue and the feathers should stay in place.

  4. 4

    the last step is covering the back with felt so you can't see the feathers glued on the back. To make the pasties stick use eylash glue or a double sticky tape.
