Beach Huts - a Felt Wall Hanging
I had a lovely time making this felt wall hanging...!
If you would like to make your own felt wall hanging with your group, here is how to do it...
You Will Need...
A piece of felt - I used a 9 x 12inch (that is how I buy them) but then trimmed off about an inch along the bottom, so you only actually need 9 x 11inch piece.
5 pieces of felt each 2 x 3inch for the beach huts.
5 scraps felt for the doors
Felt scrap for the Sun - I cut one with a die on my Big Shot, but I have included a pattern for a simpler form in the template.
Embroidery thread (use 3 strands to sew with) and needle
A thin wooden dowel x 16inch
Ribbon or cord - about 24inch
How to Make...
Turn the long edge over and pin a hem of 1inch Check your dowel will fit through (adjust if necessary)
Using a running stitch - sew hem.
Cut out 5 Huts and 5 Doors.
Using a running stitch attach the doors to the huts.
Pin the huts to the background felt, getting the spacing even.
Use a running stitch sew them onto the background felt.
Trim off any excess felt from the bottom edge.
Attach the sun with a button in the centre.
Slip in the wooden dowel and tie on the ribbon.
Have fun in the sun...!
