more than one way to use a beer glass

[lyn]

Annie and I have been doing beginner's tutorials for a UK mag, and for the final one, I've taken a straight-sided pint beer glass and wrapped it in felt to make a vase that looks pretty with or without flowers. It's approx 22 cms tall (8.5 inches).
Very simple. 4 layers of wool laid down in a shape resembling a windscreen symbol (you can't wrap a rectangle around - the top and bottom need to be curved), topped with a wispy decoration. Running stitches using pearl cotton.
My husband likes it but he still thinks the glass would look better with beer in it!

That looks really nice
Was it wet felted around the glass? I bet the stitching wasn't easy?

Zed - it wasn't wet felted around the glass. I made a template of the shape that fitted around the glass then made a piece of flat felt, so the stitching was easy.
I've emailed you a word doc version of the tutorial so that you can see the method used better.

Nice, Lyn. I love the colors!

I don't drink beer so I think that is a wonderful solution for all beer glasses

Thanks for that, Lyn

Looks like a posh beer glass cozy to me.

I have my eye on a Galliano bottle to make a felted vase, nice shape. Only trouble is, no-one seems to want to finish off the contents. Anyone fancy a cocktail?

Sure send me a harvey wall banger. At least thats what my mom used to buy it to make. It is a good shape.
