Sew your favourite snacks from Disney as felt ornaments or charms! Right this moment I am sharing a felt appliqué sample of a field of popcorn. It is the primary in a collection of patterns for making felt ornaments, all based mostly on a number of the traditional treats you will get at a Disney park.
Final month I shared an embroidery sample with a bunch of snacks, and I discussed that Disney has a complete new line of Merch that options their snacks. Now, I had the concept to do that earlier than their announcement, however once they stated there could be a particular snack every month, I believed I’d simply play alongside. No less than a bit!
So February has popcorn as a characteristic and right here we’re with popcorn!
This can be a minimalist sample, within the sense that the obtain consists of the sample items and this submit is only a abstract of methods to make it. No step-by-step photographs for these!
For provides, you will want felt (I like to recommend wool mix felt from Benzie Design) and embroidery floss, plus freezer paper and iron, scissors, and a needle. You possibly can lower the smaller circle with a scallop shear, or use my Circles and Scallops deep-etch dies, additionally from Benzie Design. You do want a guide die-cutting machine for the dies.
In the event you’ve ever made any of the felt ornaments from my Etsy store and even on my weblog, you will be conversant in the method for this popcorn decoration and those to come back.
If you have not made one among these, I like to recommend watching my YouTube video exhibiting an decoration from begin to end. It is from one other sample, however the course of is identical.
On this explicit decoration, I embroidered the popcorn particulars with scallop sew and three strands. For the “Disney mud” on the popcorn field, I used three strands once more, and shaped the twinkles with scallop sew and the remainder with French knots. All of the appliqué is finished with two strands and whip sew.
One factor that is barely totally different on this than on my typical ornaments is that I sewed across the edge with holbein sew. That is mainly working sew, and then you definitely return in the wrong way and fill within the gaps with one other spherical of working sew. It appears to be like like again sew, nevertheless it’s the identical on either side, which makes it prettier for a dangling decoration.
I like going to Disney parks, however popcorn is not one among my most favourite snacks. So after I took my popcorn decoration to Disneyland just lately, I opted to take a photograph with the precise Disney snack merch. Simply take a look at that lovely bag within the background! The highest actually appeared like the actual deal.
In fact, this decoration design does not should solely symbolize Disney popcorn. You possibly can embellish the field in a different way and even depart it plain. And I do know we often consider ornaments for the vacations, however I feel they’re enjoyable to make use of as little decorations any time of the 12 months. Possibly at the same time as a approach to depend right down to a Disney journey!
