SSG and other crafty people

SSG, I know you do felt projects all the time, so I figured you'd know. Anyone else?

I feel like this is a stupid question, but does felt stick to itself *all by itself*? I keep seeing these cute felt trees for kids to decorate on Pinterest...

Also, how expensive is felt? I have no idea what a "good deal" in felt looks like...

Yes, it sticks to itself and it's pretty inexpensive, not sure on the price per yard but there are always sales on it at Joann's.

It does pretty much stick to itself, although I wouldn't count on it actually staying for a long time. But for a play around decorating a felt tree, it should do the job.

There are two kinds of felt - craft felt and wool blend felt. Craft felt is 100% polyester and is super cheap. Regular price at Joann's is 39 cents for a 9"x12" sheet and I think $2.99 a yard for the stuff on the bolt (72" wide). Wool blend felt is more durable and nicer feeling, and thus more expensive. I might spring for wool blend felt for nice heirloom quality ornaments, but most of the time I use craft felt.

Sorry for the book, but we've been all about felt this season!

Ha Ha you know me so well. I just started my felt project of the year. Coffee cozies hand embroidered with Ella's teachers names. I am so predictable! But yes previous posters are correct felt sticks to felt.
