This is my first ever primitive penny rug! I wasn't sure it was going to be a penny rug initially. I made the sheep first (made two of them actually). And I just kept them for the longest time, not sure what to do with them. But I finally decided I'd use one as an experiment in penny rugs.
It's all made from felt, some of it wool felt and some just regular felt from the fabric store. I used felt buttons on the side to be the "pennies." I just saw them at the craft store and thought they were neat. The button on top of the heart is a real button though.
It's not perfect...I can see the flaws (don't you hate how when you make something yourself you see your mistakes first!). But overall, I'm happy with it. I still have one sheep left too, so I may either make another penny rug, or something else all together!
