Heart Felt

A felt board is something I've been meaning to make Amelia for some time now. Unsure of the best way to go about it (here's where my annoyingly indecisiveness comes in), I kept putting it off.  However, I few weekends ago I spotted one at a garage sale for $1!  The felt on the board was a little rough (for whatever reason, I am having trouble uploading the "before" picture of the board), but I figured I could recover it inexpensively if need be.  Along with the board, I also scored a ziploc bag full of various felt characters, furniture, animals, and letters for an additional dollar.

Once home, I decided that the board definitely needed to be recovered and was able to purchase more than enough to do the job for a mere $1.20.  

The after picture.  The board was pretty worn and slightly stained in one spot prior to the facelift.

I also decided to pick up a few sheets of various colors of felt to add to Amelia's props.  She asked specifically for Halloween characters.  So far, I've made a haunted house, a moon, some clouds, 5 pumpkins, 3 ghosts and a witch with removable hat and dress (I think I'll add some undergarments for the poor girl!).

The board will be hung in her playroom and I am so excited because the possibilities on how to use it are endless!!
