Magnolia RS07

The STYLIT sheep's wool felt "Toni" in Ruby red and the STYLIT sheep's wool felt "Klausi" in Magnolia give your Valentine's Day gift a special touch. While the ruby red colour of the "Toni" felt for powerful, passionate accents the soft magnolia colour of the "Klausi" felt lends the gift a special touch. Delicate and romantic touch.

Supplemented by Green plant details the gift becomes a real eye-catcher. These natural accents bring a fresh, lively note and ensure that the Valentine's Day gift is both visually impressive and creates a special atmosphere. The tasteful interplay of colours and plants gives the gift a special touch. Stylish and elegant look.

Step by step

Step 1:
Cut the felt into strips

The first step is to take a piece of "Toni" sheep's wool felt and divide it into five strips of approximately the same width. Carefully cut along the markings with sharp scissors to create neat and even strips.

Step 2:
Apply felt strips

In the next step, lay the felt strips on top of each other in a star shape. Arrange the strips so that they spread out evenly and form a clearly structured pattern. This will give your box of chocolates a neat and tidy base.

Step 3:
Fix everything

Now attach the felt strips with a wire. Carefully wrap the wire around the centre of the strips to hold them securely together. Make sure that the strips remain evenly arranged and that the pattern is not displaced.

Step 4:
Fold in the felt strips

In the next step, fold the felt strips over four times to form the mesh-like structure. Fold the strips evenly so that they form a nice, regular pattern. You can now trim the unfolded strips so that everything has a nice shape at the end.

Step 5:
Fasten everything

The next step is to attach the folded felt strips to the centre of the workpiece using hot glue. Apply a small amount of hot glue to the ends of the folded strips and carefully press them together to fix them in place. This step ensures that the mesh-like structure remains stable and does not shift.

Step 6:
Attach jewellery to the gift

Now attach the jewellery directly to the gift. Carefully attach the decorative elements to the box of chocolates so that they hold securely and stand out well. Make sure that the jewellery is evenly distributed and that the gift looks attractive.

Step 7:
Decorate

The final step is to decorate the gift further. For example, add something green to give the overall picture a fresh and natural touch. This provides an additional accent and elegantly rounds off the gift.
