Mushrooms are everywhere! Have you noticed? Benzie team member Camille of @notsomodernmillie decided to try her hand at making her own and she's sharing the steps and tips in this tutorial. It's a project you simply mush try! I adore mushrooms. More accurately, I adore the charming bright fairytale mushrooms that aren't growing in my yard. So I went looking for the perfect mushroom pattern and couldn't find it. They were either too fussy or too simple - a real Goldilocks story. So I made my own porridge, I mean pattern, and I am so pleased to share it with you! In a reasonable amount of time with simple supplies, you'll be able to make a whimsical mushroom ornament that's *just right.* Skill Level: Beginner Time: 1 hour Additional Supplies: Felt Mushroom Pattern (click to download)Hole PunchPencil Directions: 1. Print the Felt Mushroom Pattern (using the SVG or PDF above) onto cardstock. Cut out pattern pieces. The dotted lines on the Mushroom Cap are suggested cutting lines. To give the mushroom a taller dome (and smaller circumference) make the triangles wider. To give the mushroom a flatter dome (and larger circumference) make the triangles narrower. If you prefer to cut the mushroom pieces with a cutting machine, a link for the SVG file is in the supply list above. 2. Trace pattern pieces onto corresponding felt colors and cut out as follows: Cap - One from Carmine felt or color of choiceBase - One from Ecru feltSkirt - One from Ecru felt with optional scallop cut along dotted lineStem - One 6 x 2-1/2
