So its raining here at the moment so there's no poping down the beach to do some bird watching which has left me bored.

So bored Infact I came up with an idea and now I'm gonna tell you how to do it....

So here's the finished product -

The little black one was a tester which was successful so I ran out and bought 5 more sheets of felt for a fiver.

All you need is a glue gun, a Stanley knife and 5 sheets of felt.

First off fold a triangle into one sheet so you get a square folded in half and cut off the rest like so...

Use this as a template and cut out 4 more

Then take your glue gun and glue down one edge...

Stick another square on top and repeat until you end up with this...

Then stick the base on one edge at a time. It's not difficult but it is fiddly so take your time. You should end up with this...

The final stage is turning it inside out which is the most fiddly bit for me...

And there you have it. A felt pot for a fiver!!

Well actually I got enough from the offcuts to make 1 huge one and 2 smaller ones so really it's 3 for a fiver :D

Enjoy [emoji41]

Don't mean to piss on your chips KD but do you think that glue will hold when it's full and damp ? I'd be tempted to sew the joins instead 😉 just a thought before you fill it and water then it ends up all over 👍
