Immediately is formally Dole Whip Day, and whereas it isn’t within the form of Mickey, I am unable to consider a extra iconic Disney Park deal with. A swirl of pineapple goodness that may be a bit like ice cream, however not like the rest. And so I HAD to make one with my kawaii twist. It is the subsequent decoration in my Disney Snacks sequence!
Every certainly one of these ornaments has a traditional deal with from a Disney park. They’re good for the Christmas tree of a Disney fan, however they’re additionally enjoyable for year-round. It’s also possible to use the little applique items to make different issues: keychains, pins, and extra.
Disney has particularly been hyping Dole Whip Day this 12 months and so they’ve been sharing plenty of cute issues, together with wallpapers, recipes, and extra. Their foodie information lists each number of Dole Whip deal with out there proper now and the record is HUGE. However all this speak of pineapple (and different taste) goodness takes my coronary heart, soul, and abdomen again to the parks…
On my most up-to-date journey to Disneyland I not solely ate a Dole Whip (I shared with my sister!), however I sewed this decoration whereas I ate! Actually, it was simply as tasty as I remembered it from the final time I had it. YUM! I am already trying ahead to the subsequent time I can take pleasure in one. Probably with some tropical hideaway music taking part in within the background.
The meeting of those is fairly easy and makes use of the identical course of I do for a lot of the felt ornaments I promote in my Etsy store.
I used wool mix felt from Benzie Design (affiliate hyperlink). I minimize the circle items with my Circles and Scallops die, additionally from them. I like that they’ve the sew markings punched into them for straightforward stitching. After all you should utilize the circle templates within the PDF with plain or scallop scissors in case you’d want. Pinking shears work nice too!
Freezer paper is useful to chop the items. Earlier than eradicating the freezer paper, I sewed the face with three strands of black embroidery floss (two French knots and a scallop sew) and the swirls on the Dole Whip with three strands of yellow (again sew).
Subsequent, I layered and stitched the items onto the entrance circle with a tiny whip sew and two strands of embroidery floss that matches the items.
To assemble the decoration I used operating sew across the edges, then I stuffed in with a second spherical of operating sew. This manner it seems to be the identical on the back and front.
Then I simply used embroidery floss to make somewhat hanger.
