Tim Holtz Harvey from felt - hanging decor

Let me show you my latest make a felt hanging decor that I created using Tim's Harvey Thinlits die set. What can I say? I'm rally happy with the result, but during the process I often felt that this project is a real challenge.

Here are some process photos where you can see that the back of Harvey is just as detailed as the front. 

The base was a thicker and sturdier white felt but all the layers were cut out from very thin felt. To cut out the forms from the thiner felts I run the die and the felt twice through the Sizzix machine, and three times to cut out the thicker base. If needed I helped with scissors.

The head and the hands are made with beige or nude colour.

Here is the back:

I only cut out those pieces which were not so detailed. And I didn't put too many layers onto each other. And the strip of the hat and the eyes were made from paper, because the too thin strip always ripped. I used Tacky Glue to glue the pieces on.

In the end I made a hole to the hat with a Crop-A-Dile Big Bite punch and I put in a piece of wool twine.

And one more thing, if I were do it again, I would use black felt as a base instead of white. Because of the white base, I had to colour Harvey's sides with Distress markers :-)

With this hanging decor, I would like to join the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge: Not a card
