Fun with Felt--Where to Buy Supplies?

[thanka2]

I really want to make THESE.

Where can I buy felt for a good price here in HK?

For anyone who is interested here are SOME OTHER FUN ONES to try.

Hi thanka2,

I just started making hair bows for my daughter and came across wool felt designs and I felt in love with them too.

Check our etsy.com and you'll find lots of cute stuff.

I've made a small heart using wool blend felt with a tiny heart button for hair clips but still waiting for the alligator clips to arrive because I can't find them here in Hong Kong

Btw, I found the wool blend felt on the street in Central where they sell ribbons.

Hope it helps!

What street is that, Meow Meow?

I don't know what your etsy site is. How can I look at it? I don't have a little girl so hair bows wouldn't really fit.

hi, i found stainary shops have felt material and also go to sham shui po to find these things. Plenty of material is there ...just go and look .

 

[thanka2]

I'm sorry, Meow Meow, I have no idea what shop or streets you're referring to. I don't live in Central--very far from there so I would need at least a street name. So, if anyone can remember, please let me know.

Manya, about Sham Shui Po (still a bit on edge to go there after that little boy got chopped to death in broad daylight there!)--what is the name of the street. I will not just go to Sham Shui Po unless I really know where I'm going and what I'm looking for. I would love to check it out. What is then name of the street?

www.esty.com- you can sell and buy hand made goodies.
street next to watson is call pottinger street.
you can buy felts from The Lanes opposite H&M, two parallel street markets, on one side of the market are fabric store.
Jusco in Wan chai was selling felts for $10 don't remember what size they where.
You can also try Wing wo street next to The Center there's a market there too which sells all sort of beeds and stuff.

any of you guys want to start a sewing club?

 

[thanka2]

Hey YTV, that would be fun but honestly, I don't sew. I don't have a clue, actually. I just thought that the felt food would be a good start for me as it requires hand whip stitching which I can manage. Do you sew?

 

[MeowMeow]

Hi YTV, you're super!! thanks for all the information. I'm just a beginner at making handmade hair accessories (bows on clips) for girls using grosgrain ribbons. What do you sew??
