How To Make 
 
You Will Need
  • A Make Your Own Mushroom Cushion Tea Towel Craft Kit
  • A pair of sharp scissors (ideally fabric scissors) or pinking shears
  • Dressmaker's pins
  • A sewing needle and thread (for hand stitching). or a sewing machine
  • Material for stuffing your bear (this can be toy stuffing. yarn scraps. pulses â€?whatever you prefer to use!)
  • A steam iron

Instructions
  • Iron your fabric so as to remove any creases.
  • Cut around each shape using a sharp pair of fabric scissors. Put the two brown acorn pieces to one side.
  • Place the front and back of the two red mushroom shapes right sides together. line them up and pin the two sides together.
  • Using a sewing machine or by hand. sew a line 1 cm from the edge of your cut shapes â€?be sure to leave an opening of around 5cm so you can stuff your mushroom later. If you're using a sewing machine. use a backstitch to reinforce the opening.
  • Remove the pins and turn the sewn shape through the opening so that the right sides are now on the outside.
  • Fill the house using whatever material you choose. We recommend using recycled polyester toy stuffing (you can buy this from a haberdashery shop). You can also use any scrap fabrics or yarn that you might have at home â€?even a few old pairs of socks or tights â€?or dried pulses such as lentils.You could even fill the acorn with dried lavender to make a moth-repellent mini cushion!
  • Once you are happy with the shape and feel of your mushroom. sew the opening closed by hand using a needle and thread.
  • Repeat steps 3-7 with the two brown acorn shapes.
