Description 

I made some felt beets for some friends. Here they are.


Instructions 
  1. 1
    Step 1

    Cut out your pieces. A half circle in a nice dark beet color and a leafy green double leaf piece for the greens.


  2. 2
    Step 2

    Fold the half circle in half and sew up the open edge, don't forget that nifty little notch in to make a most beety beet shape.


  3. 3
    Step 3

    Flip the felt inside out and STUFF!


  4. 4
    Step 4

    Stitch around the top of the stuffed beet with big straight stitches and pull tight.


  5. 5
    Step 5

    With the beet colored thread stitch veins down the center of each side of your greens. I suggest and up and back method.


  6. 6
    Step 6

    Before you knot it pull the greens tight, but not oo tight to creata "leafy" effect.


  7. 7
    Step 7

    Roll up your greens. I rolled tightly one way, then took the "second leaf" and rolled it back on itself. I think the effect is better.


  8. 8
    Step 8

    Stitch the greens shut.


  9. 9
    Step 9

    Stitch the greens to the open "whole" in the top of the "beet". Now you have a cute little beet with greens.

These are so much fun! I'm working on a Roundup of felt food (huge felt food fan!) and I'll be linking to this.
