Assalamu Alaikum everyone!
Last year we made a Ramadan Treat Box for Sumayyah. This year we wanted to do something similar and have come up with an idea for a Ramadan Reward Calendar in the shape of a masjid. Insha'Allah, we will do a second part to this post once we have finished.
For this craft project you will need:-
Thick black felt (21x35 inches)
Thin felt or fabric (3 different colours)
Yardstick
Fabric scissors
Fabric chalk
Ruler
Pencil
Embroidery thread
Needle
Firstly, you will need to mark your thick black felt with the fabric chalk. The width should be 21 inches and the length 25 inches.
Add 10 more inches to the length making the total length 35 inches long. The extra inches at the top are for the masjid's dome and minarets.
Once you have marked the dome and minarets, you can then cut out the masjid.
Now you will need to make the windows. The windows should be 3 by 3 inches and you will need 29 of them.
We cut up 10 yellow, 10 beige and 9 pink windows.
When you are done you can place them all in order as shown below.
Then you can cut out the door. The measurements should be 4 by 5 inches.
Now thread your needle and begin sewing the pockets. You will need a big strong needle and a lot of patience!
Sew the sides and bottoms leaving the top part open so you can place the 'rewards' in them later.
We made our door pink and sewed a line down the middle of it to make it look a little more realistic.
That was all we were able to do for now.
Masha'Allah, we are happy with the result so far, but there is still so much more we want to do. Hopefully we will post the completed project soon, insha'Allah. Until then.
Love and Wassalam,
