How to make die cut felt hedgehogs and Christmas trees

September 22, 2017 by Stefanie Girard

I am always looking for new ways to use my dies as I love die cutting. The new Crafter’s Companion Rose Flower and Daisy Flower dies are perfect for making felt hedgehogs and Christmas trees.

For the base of the hedgehog I simply cut a piece of felt in a half circle and rolled it up in a cone shape.

I hot glued the die cut daisy flower strips onto the cone shape starting from the wide part and coiling them around until there was about 1 inch left.

I sewed two little black beads onto the head area for eyes.

The tree is made the same way only I used two different shades of green felt and the Rose Flower die.

To make the little fire I cut 3 pieces of a branch from my yard and stacked them in a little pile.

The flames are made with red, orange and yellow pieces of felt glued together and on top of the little pile of wood.

All the elements are placed on three layers of felt cut in irregular shapes stacked- white smallest, then light blue, and then a large piece of white felt.

Upcycled Glass Solar Garden Mushrooms – A Whimsical DIY Delight

Looking to add a touch of magic to your garden? The Upcycled Glass Solar Garden Mushrooms tutorial on Instructables by CrazyClever is a fantastic project that combines creativity, sustainability, and a bit of whimsy.

This DIY guide takes you through the process of transforming old chandelier glass parts into enchanting mushroom-shaped garden lights. The bell-shaped glass diffusers are perfect for this project—they naturally resemble mushroom caps, have ample openings to let sunlight charge the solar panels, and emit a soft, ambient glow rather than the harsh brightness of standard LEDs.

The stems are crafted from cement, shaped around the solar light stakes using cling wrap. This method not only gives each mushroom a unique, organic look but also ensures they are sturdy and weather-resistant. The project is designed to be loose and organic, encouraging creativity without the need for precise measurements.

  • Upcycling Techniques: Transforming old glass items into functional and decorative pieces.

  • Mushroom Crafting: Creating unique mushroom shapes using simple materials.

  • Outdoor Lighting: Incorporating solar lights into your garden décor.

If you’re looking for a fun, eco-friendly project that adds charm to your outdoor space, these upcycled glass solar garden mushrooms are a delightful choice. The tutorial is easy to follow, and the results are both practical and enchanting.
