Doelightful DIY : felt cloud decor

i wanted to start a new series on the blog

called Doelightful DIY.

let's shoot for one a week 

(or once every two weeks, realistically, haha)

but if you have a DIY you want posted, email it to me!

i once saw a cloud/raindrop mobile on etsy.

i loved it dearly and meant to make one for Little Man.

He's a tad too big for a mobile now

so i twisted it a bit and made him a sweet wall of clouds instead.

its a pretty easy project

all you need to know is how to use scissors

and how to hand sew two pieces of something together.

but be smarter than me and use a sharper needle than what i used.

shesh.

here's what you will need :

 you will also need stuffing, which i did not photograph

my stuffing was being rather stubborn

and could not be found at picture time.

[ later found it under Bitty Boy's crib

... Little Lady's doing ... ]

step 1

cut out a felt cloud to use as template

pin said cloud to other pieces of felt

and cut out more clouds

and more clouds

and more.

you will need two (or "twoh" as Aunt GiGi says) clouds

for every one cloud you put on your wall.

save your scraps for the raindrops!

step 2

use your [sharp] needle and yarn

and stitch your clouds together

but before you close them, make sure to stuff them!

step 3

cut out raindrops with your scraps.

step 4

hang up and enjoy

you can even point at them

and saw "whoooooooeeee"

like Little Man does.

he and Rescued Dog read a book

while i took the photos.

i love it.

Little Man loves it.

xoxo, Doe.
