I made something almost exactly the same with my grandma when I was 6 or so. great memories, great idea :)
Cute! And I love that they’re light and unbreakable. Nothing worse than having to sweep up shards of glass, etc., every year after putting up the tree.

Katya – their pricing on the 3mm is normal. I ordered from aetnafelt.com, and the quality is lovely, but just as expensive. However, it is 72″ wide, so a little goes a loooong way.
Sweet and simple ornaments… I love the coziness that the felt lends to the ornaments…

Cute, but, um, 4 for 2o? Well, I guess using the German names does give them a certain cachet. Initially, I thought, huh?–it’s a felt snowflake, and hardly an elaborate design at that! But when I realized it was an authentic Schneeflake, constructed of a full 100 percent genuine wool, that it was of European origin and eco-friendly to boot, I willingly ponied up the cash. If only they were TWO for 20, I would have bought twice as many.
I get my felt from Sutherland, and found them to be nearly half the price of Aetna or Filz. Granted, it is all industrial felt, so they don’t have pantone matched colors; mostly grey or white. BUT it is made of factory excess, so it is already a recycled material (not just recyclable in its next iteration) and it’s made in the USA, so it’s greener in terms of petroleum use (Importing all the way from Germany does not a green product make.)
