Instructions

- Pin each paper fruit to felt of your preferred color and cut out around the pattern. Cut two of each. There are nine different fruit, but if you’d rather use several of the same fruit in different colors, feel free to do so. On the pattern you will find: apple, orange, pear, banana, grapes, lemon, lime, strawberry, and cherries.felt in different colors
- Thread contrasting thread on your needle and sew two of the same shape together. I used a whip stitch because that’s basically all I know how to do, but a blanket stitch would be pretty as well. I liked the look of the contrasting thread, but if you prefer, you can use the same color. It will just give you a different look.embroidery thread
- Once you have most of the individual fruit sewn, stuff it with a little cotton batting or cotton balls. You will use very little so unless batting is something you always stock, I say go with whatcha got. Cotton balls!cotton batting or cotton balls
- Once all the fruit are sewn you can add the details. I added seeds to the strawberries, a stem to the orange, stems to the cherries, and leaves to several of the fruit. Just freehand cut some leaves from green felt.
- Add a loop of green ribbon for a hanger. Stitch a label onto each piece of fruit.thin satin ribbon or Christmas tree ornament hangers
