I am presenting you this weekends craft challenge:
CLOUDS!
I know, I know. Clouds may seem boring. I mean, we see them every day right?
Well, lets make them a bit more crafty. A bit more inspirational.
Ok. So if you're having some troubles, here's what I did:
Stuffed clouds
(can be used as a brooch, hairpin, cushion or mobile)
You will need:
- cardboard or hard paper
- scissors (paper and fabric)
- white felt
- white embroidery string
- multicolored embroidery string (optional)
- beads (optional)
- tough string (optional)
How to make it:
- draw up your pattern (this will just be a basic cloud picture) onto cardboard, hard paper or just plain paper
- cut it out with your paper scissors
- pin or hold onto your white felt
- cut two pieces out
- (optional: if you want to embroidery a pattern on your cloud, do so now)
- align the two felt fabric pieces together, and stitch around the outside
- make sure you leave a whole for the stuffing (and, optional: for some string to go through, if you want it to be a mobile)
- stuff the stuffing inside (optional: and string)
- sew up the gap
- (optional: if you want to make it a brooch, sew a brooch pin on the back. if you want it to be a hair clip, sew a bobby pin or plain clip on the back. easy!)
- now you're done!
Show me what you came up with this weekend!
