Giveaway: Super-Cute Felt

I hope you guys have enjoyed my slightly extended "book week"!

To finish off this book-themed fortnight, I thought it would be nice to do a giveaway for my own book, Super-Cute Felt which was published last autumn. 


The book contains 35 cute felt projects, all designed by me.

I may be a teeny bit biased (haha!) but I love this book! :)

It includes small projects (like pansy hair clips) and large projects (like a toadstool hot water bottle cover) in four sections: accessories, gifts, homewares and celebrations. Each project has illustrated, step-by-step instructions, there's also a short guide to materials, equipment and techniques at the start of the book, and most of the templates are full size (hurrah!).

Here are a few of my favourite projects...

A lion coffee cosy:


A hedgehog phone case:


A snowglobe doorhanger:



And cat, mice and cheese puppets:


I'm giving away one signed copy of Super-Cute Felt, and (because I love you guys) I'm happy to post it internationally so anyone can enter.

For your chance to win, just leave a comment on this post before 10pm on Tuesday 24th April. I'll pick a winner at random on Wednesday 25th April.

Please make sure you leave a name or pseudonym (no anonymous comments please!) and leave a blog link, Twitter username, Etsy username or email address so I can contact you. If I'm unable to contact the winner within two weeks, I will pick someone else.

Update: this giveaway is now closed.

nashmetro said...

Hello Laura ‘Lupin’ Howard
I just felt I had to say
Your book looks simply wonderful
And you’ve a copy to give-away! – yippee!

I told this to the Bullfinch
Ran it past the cats & mice with cheese
And said, “what’dya think my chances are
Of winning one of these”?
So I sat down with my lion coffee cosy
Put my Kitty Purse on the chair
And cuddled my Angel Teddy
As I said my little prayer
Forget me not heart this I say
And onto My little house doorstop land
A copy of this lovely book
For me to keep at hand

I’ll be waiting now with baited breath
Hiding under the sea notebook cover
Too nervous to take a peek
At what I would love to discover
I’ll then be able to hang out with pride
The Birthday bunting! Wont I
