Assalamu Alaikum!
Today we'd like to show you a craft Sumayyah did a few days ago with our mother's help. She made a felt cushion to put on her bed. It's a fairly simple craft so keep reading to find out how to make one yourself!
You will need:-
some felt (two different colours)
stuffing
scissors
needle and thread
pompoms
some cardboard
pins
hot glue gun (optional)
To begin, you will need to cut the cardboard into the shape of a heart. Next trace around it onto the felt and cut out two identical hearts. Sumayyah chose to use yellow coloured felt.
She also cut out the first letter of her name using some blue felt. After you have done the same you will need to sew the letter onto one of the hearts. Use pins to keep it in place while you sew.
Then sew the two hearts together either by hand or by using a sewing machine (be sure to ask an adult for help if needed).
Remember to leave an opening so you can stuff the cushion!
Hand stitch it closed when you are done stuffing. Then decorate with pompoms!
You could stitch them onto the cushion but Sumayyah just used a hot glue gun. Remember, since it is made of felt, you can't wash it.
And you're done!
Wouldn't this also make a nice gift for someone special?
We hope you liked this DIY project. See you next Friday, insha'Allah.
Love and Wassalam,
That is pretty! I came from my friend Maimoonah's blog because I saw your comment! I also live in qatar.
