I am an enormous fan of the Disney parks so this 12 months I have been making kawaii Wild Olive-style Disney snacks out of felt and embroidery. The patterns are all free and yow will discover all of them right here.
My mother would love me to make sufficient of those to fill a small Christmas tree, and truthfully, I am on my approach to that! In the event you like that concept too, be part of me in making Disney snacks felt ornaments.
However now, let’s cease in at Disneyland…
Since I am not an enormous ice cream eater, I did not get an precise Mickey ice cream bar to take an image together with my decoration, however I nearly assume that is higher. As a result of I like how on the ice cream carts they’ve plastic variations of all of the treats. Severely, how enjoyable wouldn’t it be to have one in all these?
Anyway, I opted to make use of a prop ice cream as, effectively, my photograph prop. Very unique.
Let’s transfer on and discuss making this decoration. All of the ornaments on this collection go collectively the identical method. They’re very very like my different felt applique ornaments, however a bit less complicated. You’ll be able to watch my YouTube video exhibiting one in all my Halloween ornaments from begin to end.
The Mickey “premium” ice cream bar is simply two items. The chocolate half and the stick. Straightforward!
I used wool mix felt from Benzie Design (affiliate hyperlink). I reduce the circles with my Circles and Scallops die, additionally from them, however you need to use the circle templates within the PDF with plain or ornamental scissors if you would like. Scallops are my favourite, however pinking shears work nice too!
Freezer paper is useful to chop the small shapes. Earlier than eradicating the freezer paper, I sewed the face with three strands of black embroidery floss. It is simply two French knots and a scallop sew.
Subsequent, I layered and stitched the items onto the entrance circle with a tiny whip sew and two strands of embroidery floss.
To assemble the decoration I used working sew across the edges, then I crammed in with a second spherical of working sew. That is technically holbein sew and it seems to be the identical on the back and front. By the way in which, more often than not I add a tiny little bit of stuffing inside my felt ornaements, however for these Disney Snack ones, I’ve stored them flat. I kinda like them each methods!
Then I simply used embroidery floss to make a bit hanger.
This one is fairly fast to sew, so that you would possibly be capable to make it sooner than it takes for a Mickey bar to soften. Okay, perhaps not at Walt Disney World in summer season.
