Home Made Ornaments

November 27, 2011 By Spoonful of Sugar - 17 Comments

Christmas Mushrooms are our latest design for home made felt ornaments. There is something about red and white polka dotted mushrooms that always put a smile on my face. These ornaments are easily made from small pieces of felt, fabric scraps, and twine; and will add a touch of woodland whimsy to your Christmas tree.

Materials (for each Mushroom). Each mushroom measures approx 3 1/2″ x 3″  (9 x 7.5 cm)

  • two pieces of felt measuring 4″ x 5 ” (10 x 13 cm)
  • scraps of fabric for the mushroom head, stalk, and underside
  • length of twine measuring 7″ (18 cm)
  • scraps of fusible applique web such as steam a seam or vliesofix
  • mushroom template (click here to download)
  • black cotton thread and thread to co-ordinate with the felt

Method:
1. Trace the mushroom templates in reverse onto the wrong side of the fusible webbing. Cut around each shape leaving approx 1/4 “.
2. Fuse the appliqué webbing onto the wrong side of the fabric pieces. Cut out the mushroom shapes from the fabric.
3. On one piece of felt, fuse the mushroom pieces in place following manufacturers directions. Refer to the photo of the mushrooms below for the layout of the pieces.

4. Using black cotton, stitch around the inside edge of the fabric pieces. Sew around each shape three times, overlapping the stitching slightly to give a sketchy look.

5. Cut around the mushroom shape, leaving approx 1/4 ” of felt around each shape.

6. Fold the twine in half and position it at the top of the mushroom. Layer the mushroom onto the other piece of felt.

7. Stitch around the outside of the mushroom on the felt, catching the twine in place as you go. Over sew across the twine a few times to ensure it is well attached. Cut around the backing piece of felt so that it is line with the front of the mushroom.

Happy February Everyone! Wherever you are in the Happy February Everyone!

Wherever you are in the world, I hope you were able to create your own sunshine today.

This is a throwback photo to 2015 when I made my first ever dresden plate. My technique has improved since then but I still love the colours in this photo. There is something about bright pink and yellow together that makes me happy. Looking forward to the weekend when I get more sewing time.

Please share with me in the comments what sewing techniques you would like to see in my upcoming pattern designs. I love to hear your feedback.
