I made these adorable little toadstools for my big boys after seeing a tutorial over at The Magic Onions. I have been playing around a bit more with needle felting lately (we've previously done mostly wet felting projects), and I find something so incredibly satisfying about turning a pile of fluffy wool into something more solid and {cute}!
Sutton asked for a red toadstool with white dots (like Toad from Super Mario Bros.), and Sawyer wanted orange with pale green dots. They've already played with them a lot, so I may need to re-felt the stems a bit more since they're not quite as tight as when I first felted them. That's one of the great things about needle felting - it's incredibly forgiving! If your project is not quite perfect the first time, you can always go back and give it some more perfecting love later (or change it up altogether!).
Right now our toadstools are living amongst the rocks on our nature table, but Sawyer is anxious to create a wet-felted playscape to call their permanent home. Hopefully I'll be rid of this awful cold/flu combo that hubby and I have been passing back and forth soon so that we can get to all the bigger projects that we've been putting on hold for the last couple of weeks!
