How to: Felt toadstools

This will make the stem

For the top of the toadstool

Choose two colours.

It is HUGELY important to have the right glue for this project or, 

as i learnt the hard way it could all go wrong…

Click on the link to see the glue i used.

Short sequin pins are best

Strong enough to cut felt

For cutting the foam.

if you are not sure what a stanley knife is click the link.

Something that will show up just enough for you to see it on the felt.

Step 1: Use your stanley knife to cut the tip off the foam cone.

Step 2: Roll the cone over the felt piece and trace out where it rolls. This will show you the area of felt that will be attached to the cone. Draw up a cutting line about 1cm from the cone line. And cut out the shape. This will give you excess to wrap under the cone.

Wrap the excess under the base of the cone. Use your pins to secure the felt on the base and tip of the cone. This will keep the felt in position while the glue dries.

Step 4: Cut the foam ball as shown in the diagram below. You will use the larger section for the top of your toadstool. 

Tip: Place toadstool top up side down in a bowl, approximately the same size as the foam ball. This will help keep the felt attached to the ball while the glue is drying.

Step 6: Cut out circles from the same coloured felt you used for your stem.

Glue these to the top of the of the toadstool. 

Step 7: Glue the tip of the step to the under section of the top and you my friend have a toadstool! Super easy and super cute!! 😀
