Tie-Dyed Jellyfish And Purple Fish

Here is a more evidence of my "little problem" in regard to ornaments.  When Crafty McGee posted that she had a couple left over ornaments to trade, I JUMPED on it.  Breathlessly.

For my part of the trade, I made her the tie-dyed jellyfish above.  I have a stash of tie-dyed felt that I finally cut into for this little guy.

The jellyfish seems to be the most popular of the Supercute Sea Creatures, which is a little bit of a surprise to me.  I would have thought it would be the octopus.

I also made her a purple fish with a sequin eye stripe.  I thought the silver sequins would look good paired with Christmas lights,  But now that I think about it, these little guys might be on her light-less tree ... in which case the sequins will bring a little bling to the mix. :)

I can't wait to get my little tree from Crafty McGee.  I think it's uber brilliant that she put the eyelet for hanging in the middle of the treetop star.

I love the jellyfish! I can see why it is so popular- all those dangly threads and stuff. :-)

I think the jellyfish is super cute but I do also love the octopus. The whole idea of little sea creatures hanging on a tree just fascinates me.

You can never go wrong with sequins unless you are a male lounge singer.

A jellyfish is one of those things that tie dye is perfect for. Looks great.

I got the anti-craft book in the mail! How exciting! I love how you made your bag instructions customizable by including the alphabet chart. Very cool.I really want to make that apothecary bag one of these days.(Perhaps after some octophrosts).

That book was packed with cool projects. I really want that Wheel of the year skirt too, and those thigh high stockings with the snakes, and those lacy gloves.....

This comment is getting long like maybe I should have written an email....I must get back to messing with my travel wardrobe...CHEERS!

I bought it tie-dyed in a three-pack (purple, green, blue) at a craft store. Either AC Moore or Michael's. It's acrylic felt printed on one side.

I found something similar on createforless.com, search for "Meltie Feltie"
