The first felt project I did was a yarn scarf several years ago. I like the scarf, but I really would like to make a wall hanging out of it. It's been hanging in my bedroom and I keep looking at wondering if I could cut it up into three sections and re-do it as a wall hanging. Has anyone done something similar? I don't have any extra yarn since I made this in a class. What do you think?

Why not? You can cut it into several sections if you like, lay the pieces down to make a composition on a background (prefelt maybe?)and then lay small pieces of matching wool around to anchor them and then wet felt the whole piece.

I think I would go with Halay's suggestion i.e. felt cut scarf sections onto a new felt base (I would pre-felt the base first). If you cut the scarf up to make a sort of triptych, you would have panels of equal width which could be difficult to make interesting.

I hadn't thought of putting a backing on it. I like the openness of it with the wall color behind it. Hmmm. I'll think about it some more. Thanks for the suggestions.

I was thinking the same thing. That it would look nice on either a really dark or really light background. I would cut the scarf into uneven sections instead of 3 equal sections. That would give it more interest too. Perhaps you could overlap the scarf pieces into an interesting composition?
