Material:
Instructions:
- Draw the shape of the pepper on construction paper
- Cut the lining, the batting and the leather to the same shape
- Lay on it to determine where the arm/leg holes should go
- Cut out the arm/leg holes. Arm holes are on the front and leg holes are on the back
- Sew 8 layers together (as pictured below). I had to hand stitch everything since the layers are too thick to go through the sewing machine. This is the most time-consuming part of the project
- For the green leaves, cut 2 pieces of green felt as pictured, sew them together and stuff with batting
- For the stem, I wrapped the pool noodle with green felt, put it through the pony tail hole, then sewed them together
- For the very top part of the stem, I filled it with batting, bent the top part and sewed it to the stem to keep it in place. I then wrapped the beanie with green felt
- Honestly, I was just figuring things out as I go. Since I hand stitched everything, it was easy to fix errors.
