I originally started using felt as a sturdy backing for my flower brooches/hair pieces. It didn't take very long before the felt showed its own unique qualities and, as of a few months ago, I was hooked. Soon I found some felt made from recycled plastic water bottles online and began fussing around with mobiles. I can't even remember how mobiles came to mind, but I've created clouds, rainbows, moons, mountains, trees, and even fish out of different felting mediums.
My first mobiles were cut from recycled plastic felt and stuffed with clean, dry plastic bags. I really liked that I could use recycled materials and make something imaginative and purposeful. Plus because it came in so many colors, recycled plastic felt was really fun to work with.
I haven't sold any on Etsy yet, but its fun to see them floating around the house.
