The design that we are going to do is that of a cloud, it is an ideal design for give at christmas young children. We do the drawing and print it twice, once for each side of the cloud. We make a face for it and sew the two buttons as if they were the pompous cheeks of the cloud.
You have to sew the mouth and eyes with some colored thread to make it more striking. Then it remains to fill with cotton and close the cloud. We add the metallic brooch on the back with a seam and voila, we can give the felt brooch as a tender handmade accessory.
