My first make of 2024 are these gorgeous velvet mushrooms from a Makebox kit. (I can't actually see the kit on their website anymore - I've had it about a year.)
First of all you needle felt the mushroom shape - as you can see below:
Then you cover it with a circle of sumptuous stretch velvety material!
The kit said to add french knots on the top in white embroidery thread - but I decided to sew beads that I already had to the top, which I'm really pleased with!
I have since threaded some cotton through the top to hang these, as they are designed to be decorations for the Christmas tree. For now, however, they are hanging in my craft-room looking delightful!
I'm so pleased with them - I really love them!
