Felt Carrots

Today I wanted to do something quick to add to the felt food collection,so decided on carrots.

You will need: Orange felt, green felt, stuffing (I used wool) and orange thread

1. For each carrot cut out a matching front and back from orange. I made 4 carrots.



2. For each carrot you will need a square of green to make the greenery for the top out of.


3. Roll the square up and pin it closed.

4. Remember those paper trees you made when you were a kid? Well you need to do eaxctly the same to your roll of green felt, cut it down about three quarters of the way. Cut three equally spaced lines around your felt so that it fans out.


5. Place the greenery inside the carrot and pin around the outside.


6. Stitch around the edges with orange using the sewing machine and leaving a space to put stuffing into. Stuff it.



7. Hand stitch the opening closed with orange thread.
