FELT POMANDER

In less than 3 weeks, we will celebrate my husband's twin brother's wedding!
My 2YR Coco & 6YR Jacob will be so excited,
as they will be the flower girl & ring bearer for the very first time!

Coco will wear Qipao in ivory brocade to match the bride's wedding gown.
Earlier, my mom not only made her the Qipao, but also a jacket to match
as well as another East-meet-West princess dress with red brocade cape.


The ring cushion is made with the same ivory brocade used in Coco's Qipao.

As request from the bride, a matching wool felt pomander ball was made for Coco to carry!
This project is very easy for most to work on, but it is actually quite time consuming! 
It took me 7 hours to complete! Even I underestimated that!

For those who love to try, here the step-by-step HOW TO photos:

Materials
6 sheets of 9"x12" felt in RUBY
3 sheets of 9"x12" felt in RED
Chocolate ribbon
Sewing thread & needle

 Steps
Prepare a pattern of the flower petal
Cut out 36 pieces (4 petals in each felt sheet)
Gently gather the inner circle with thread
Group 6 petals into 1 group & sew together
Attach the ribbon & all 6 groups of petals together
