There are loads of ways to upcycle old felted wool jumpers (good job, as I seem to shrink them in the wash quite regularly!) Tea cosies are pretty simple to sew from felt - no hemming needed.
This is all done by hand using some embroidery threads on the leaves and flowers, and green wool for blanket stitch around the edge. I used other bits of felted wool for flowers, some buttons and a loop on the top. Anyone fancy a cuppa?
A really clever idea, its lovely.
