Felt Crystal Ball Craft

I participated in the worldwide Sew a Softie tutorial hop, a fantastic event organized by Trixi from Sew A Softie. This annual initiative aims to ignite a passion for sewing in both kids and adults globally. It serves as an inspiring platform, encouraging individuals from all walks of life to delve into the art of sewing. The shared tutorials provide valuable insights, making the learning process enjoyable and accessible for participants around the world.

The enchanting theme for this year’s Sew a Softie is “Magic.” This opens up a world of possibilities for participants to infuse their creations with whimsy and wonder. Whether it’s crafting mythical creatures, fantastical scenes, or simply adding a touch of enchantment to softie designs, the Magic theme invites sewers of all ages to explore the limitless realms of imagination through the art of stitching.

I’m thrilled to share the outcome of my Sew a Softie project—a magical crystal ball adorned with exquisite jewel embellishments. The creative process was not only enjoyable but also allowed me to infuse a touch of enchantment into my creation. The sparkling jewels added a captivating allure to the crystal ball, making it a visual delight. Participating in Sew a Softie provided the perfect opportunity to channel my imagination and craft a piece that radiates magic.

My name is Dove. I live in an enchanted forest at the end of a rainbow. I have a little window in my room where I can see unicorns playing in the grass field at day and magical fairies dancing under the silvery moon at night. I love creating things with my kids and adding a touch of magic to their playtime.
