Tea Cozy & Tea Pot

Wet-felted tea cozy with needle-felted cardinals and teapot.

Teapot

I found this cute teapot to give as a Christmas gift to my son's mother-in-law. She loves cardinals so, of course, I had to make a felted tea cozy with red cardinals.

To make the tea cozy I used the same resist process as seen in my felted vase blog post:

After making the felted cozy, I added a handle on top using wet-felted wool. Once the cozy was dry, I needle-felted a red cardinal on each side.

There is nothing like a tea cozy to keep your pot of tea nice and warm. ♥
