A sweet little stocking stuffer idea

 

 This is a very little stocking stuffer idea indeed.  Raise your hand if you have ever heard of a needle threader.  Raise both hands if you have ever actually used a needle threader!

For years I couldn't figure out what those funny little items in purchased needlebooks might be. They sort of looked like flimsy metal coins with thin wires attached. 

Then I learned that they were needle threaders.   And you can buy them in packs of three.

At this point in my life I'm challenged enough by seeing to thread needles that I have actually used these on occasion.  And when I made sewing kits for young granddaughters, I made sure to include a pack of needle threaders.

This sweet needle threader made with felt and thin wire is a design from Wild Olive.  I think it is just so cute!

Mollie, the designer, did not specify the size of wire that she used in this project.  (It was a leftover from a craft kit.) So you might need to experiment a bit with different wire sizes.  I am also thinking that I might try sandwiching a purchased metal needle threader in between the felt pieces, leaving the wire loop exposed.  

Isn't this an adorable little project?  Felt and hand sewing projects are perfect for lazy summer days!
