Kunin Felt Blog Hop
This month's blog hop is sponsored by Kunin felt, Made in the U.S.A. of Eco-fi®.
Felt is one of those materials that has been around since, believe it or not, prehistoric times. It has obviously changed over the years and now Kunin Felt is Made in the USA of Eco-fi®. Eco-fi is a high-quality fiber made from 100% post-consumer recycled plastic bottles. Instead of sending water bottles to landfills, Kunin recycles billions of them each year to make them into a product that amazingly becomes felt. 10 bottles equal 1 lb of felt that can be used for children's crafts, home décor, and even apparel. Felt is weather-resistant and fade proof, which also makes it great for outdoor décor. It can even be used to line garden beds or patios, to keep them weed-free.
Felt is a wonderful and amazingly versatile fabric. It is widely used in the Arts & Crafts industry for a wide variety of projects from gift-giving and home décor to seasonal decorations. It is available in two weights, Classic and Premium. Craft cuts come in two sizes, 9" x12" and 12" x 18". It is also sold by the yard. You can find it on Amazon, fabric.com, in Walmart, and all your favorite craft stores.
Designer Crafts Connection members recently received samples to work with, so check out each designer's blog to see what they came up with to inspire YOU to craft with felt!

Rinea® Paper Foil
For our final blog hop in 2016, designers were invited to spark their creativity with Rinea® Double-Sided Paper Foil from Global Crafting.
Rinea paper-foil is a specialty crafting material imported from Germany. It is made up of two thin layers of colorful aluminum foil with a sheet of paper sandwiched between them. This creates paper-like sturdiness and stiffness with the shininess and malleability of foil. It will maintain the shape however it is bent or folded without wrinkling, making it ideal for a wide variety of arts and crafts projects. The paper-like characteristic also makes it perfect for embossing and die-cutting. It can easily be cut with regular, or decorative edge scissors and punches.
Rinea foil paper comes in many interesting color combinations including bold, pastel, and metallic colors with glossy, matte and embossed finishes giving you lots of options to play with. This is one of the most popular projects made with the foil, showing a combination of colors.
Here's how to enter: Comment here, on the DCC blog and on any of the projects from the designers listed above - they always love to hear from their readers - then use the Rafflecopter widget below to enter to win! The winner will be announced by the end of November, just in time for you to create for the holidays. Good luck!
