So it’s still summer, it’s still Summer Holidays (just) and therefore it’s still Ice Lolly Weather. If you’re looking for a crafty project to keep little (or big) hands busy then this felt ice lolly shaped purse might just do the trick. Made up of simple shapes, it requires a little hand sewing and a lot of sequin sticking but it’ll be super useful for the following things:
1. Keeping ice cream money in or
2. Storing iphones or ipods or
3. making sure that mini bottle of sun lotion is always to hand or
4. keeping shell collections safe or even
5. as a nice new pencil case for school.
Here’s the step by step guide on how to make it …
and the templates
If you want to try your hand at making this project but you don’t have any felt to hand don’t panic as I’ve teamed up with lovely Nicole from Cloud Craft to give away a pack of the five felts you’ll need for the project. Nice one Nic.

Lovely project and a fab tutorial – thanks so much Christine for letting me be involved! Do you mind me asking where you got your scalloped pinking shears from? I noticed you used them a lot in your felt book too and I’ve been looking for one for ages but have only been able to get one for paper cutting which is pretty bobbins when cutting felt!
All the best, Nicole
