List of Supplies for Felt Pineapple Craft
Instructions for The Felt Pineapple Craft
Step 1
Select yellow, green, and pink felt for the pineapple pattern and another color felt for the flower pattern. Prepare the template patterns and trace them on the selected felt fabric. The template includes 2 pineapple bases, 2 leaf patterns, 2 blush patterns, and a flower pattern. Cut out the traced patterns from the felt fabric.
Step 2
Take any one of the pineapple base cutouts and use a fabric marker to draw the eyes, mouth, and the spots on the base cutout. Prepare a needle with black thread.
Step 3
Stitch the spots with brown thread. I did a small cross-stitch for each spot/dot.
Step 4
Stitch the eyes and mouth with the black thread. Prepare a needle with pink thread to stitch the blush cutouts.
Step 5
Stitch the 2 blush cutouts on both cheeks using pink thread.
Step 6
Take the 2 leaf cutouts and place the small one on the top of the big one.
Step 7
Place the plain pineapple base on a flat surface and then place the leaf pattern on the top side of it, by slightly overlapping the top part of the pineapple base.
Step 8
Place the stitched pineapple base on the top of the plain one, keeping the leaf patterns between both bases.
Step 9
Place the flower cutout and its center cutout near the overlapped parts of the leaf and base patterns. Work a cross stitch to join the flower with the pineapple pattern.
Step 10
Prepare the needle with yellow thread.
Step 11
Start stitching around the sides of the pineapple bases.
Step 12
Keep a small opening for stuffing the felt pineapple.
Step 13
Stuff the felt pineapple with cotton or scrap felt through the small opening.
Step 14
Close the open end by stitching it neatly. Secure the end of the stitch with 2 tight knots and cut off extra thread.
