Skulls and Cross bones

I didn't have much time to work on much last night. I was running around on errands and a medical Appointment.  I did manage to work on a last minute idea I had. At about 5pm last night, I came up with the idea to try to needle felt on felted wool. (The process of poking a wool design via needles, onto another fabric such as wool or felt, etc.) Since I had an old black wool coat that had damaged lining, and had already cut the wool off of it for re-use in my craft projects, this would be perfect. (Felted wool is expensive and this saved me lots of money).  I decided to make a skull and cross bones design and turn it into a car air freshener by adding lavender,  and ribbon. The only bad thing is that I ended up breaking a needle. The good thing...I had one extra needle so I was able to finish my project.

Here's how it came out.......Not too bad for the first time.
