Sewn Felt Strawberries
Grab your felt scraps and create a project that looks good enough to eat! Easy sewing crafts are perfect for beginners and a fun way to test your skills. Create a few Sewn Felt Strawberries from Heather Valentine and display them in a pretty dish on your counter. Best of all, these strawberries will never go bad, so you can display them forever.
Materials:
- Colored Felt
- Needle & Thread
- Poly Fil
Instructions:
-
Cut berries & leaves from felt. Fold berry in half, pin and straight stitch along the edge from top to bottom.
-
Turn right side out. You will have a small dimple at the bottom. This is perfect.
-
Stuff with Polyfil. With needle and thread run a long basting stitch around the top opening of berry. Pull closed and stitched.
-
Change thread color to match your leaves and stitch them to the top. On my berries, some have 2 sets of leaves, others have 3. Your choice.
