Details:

~ You can skip to the felt details if you’re making Bear Bun

 

 

  • Sew the cream with the cherry on top of the head [left photo].
  • For the first direction, place 2 sewing pins for each line (1 starting point 
    and 1 end point) on where you want to embroider the lines. You may need to adjust the placements a few times until it looks fine [left photo].
  • Then start embroidering the lines using the thin light brown yarn. You can also use a darker color for this if preferred. Repeat the same steps for the other direction [right photo].  

 

 

 Felt details   ____ rounds tall x ____ sc wide
 2 eyes (brown)  1 x 0,75 
 1 snout (brown)  1,25 x 1
 2 blush (pink)  1,25 x 2,25 
 5 flower petals (white)  1,25 x 1,25
 1 flower disc (yellow)  0,75 x 0,75 

 

 

  • Now attach a piece of yarn to your Bear Bun/ Melon Pan to make a Christmas ornament. The red dots are where I’ve attached the yarn, but feel free to adjust the placements (note that for the Melon Pan I’ve attached them right between the ears and the cream, and not on top of the cream)!  

 

 

And….. you’re done!
