barberwitch: barberwitch: I was asked to make a tutorial on how I make my felted Yule goat ornaments! Optional is stuffing herbs crystals etc inside the goat for extra oomph! Step 1: make you guide out of cardboard or sturdy paper. Step 2: Lay on piece of doubled felt and cut along outline. Step 3 tie a knot on end of embroidery floss and pull through one side right at the neck. Step 4: not really a step, the side where the knot is will be the inside of the Yule goat to hide the knot. Step 5: bring both side together and use a whip stitch to loop along the edges from the neck forward and all along there whole thing until just past the tail. Step 6: leave enough room to put stuffing in the goat using a chopstick, wooden skewer etc. Step 7: once it is full of stuffing, finish sewing up the back to your first knot and tie off a knot to keep it from unraveling. Step 8: (optional) if you have enough excess, wrap the remaining floss around the neck until you have a just enough to tie a little bow. This wrapping helps hide your knots if they didn’t quite get finished correctly. Cut off excess and decorate your knew body with ribbon trim etc Well, with December 1st here, it’s officially my season for Yule and Yule prep! Here’s a small tutorial for cheap handmade Yule goats out of felt. -- source link
