This week I’ve been working on some commissioned felt birds.  These ones are a departure from the ones in the shop in that they are made from 100% wool felt and if these are typical of the results to be gained from spending a few extra pennies up front, I think I’ll be using 100% wool felt for all my future birdies.

These chaps are far sturdier and easier to work with than the ecospun felt birds that I had been making.  That’s not to say that the ecospun felt birds are poorer quality, they’re not…these ones just are easier to work with.

I’m extremely happy with these, I love the green felt, and I really wish I could afford one and find a place in the house to put one…maybe one day we’ll have finished renovations and there’ll be a special shelf just for me.

    Hi,
    I love your felt birds. They are exactly what I am looking for for two white birdcages I bought for over my childrens’, unisex bedroom. I need one in blue and one in pink. Would you be available to make more?

    these are so cute!!! I’m having a baby shower and its a bird/nesting theme. Is there any place I can buy them or are you going to do a tutorial for them?

    Hi Christa,

    You can buy these birds in our Coriandr shop – link over to the right hand side of the screen.

    If you don’t see anything in a suitable colour for you I’m happy to take commissions for whatever colours you fancy.

    We hand-make natural tea-tree filled mattress in Sydney. I was just surfing along looking for felt references for our new packaging labels and came across the image of your birds.

    They are just beautiful.

    I will purchase some when I am ready to use when merchandising our product.
