The project requires only a few materials, including felt , thread, scissors, chalk, and a plate or other round object for tracing . The step-by-step instructions include tracing and cutting out a circle, dividing it into eight equal triangles, and sewing them together into a bowl shape. The finished bowl can be decorated with red pom-poms to cover the visible seams and can be used not only as an Easter decoration, but also as a stylish storage basket for small items such as keys or hair accessories.

For the mistletoe we will need:

• 40 cm of red pompoms No. K-PN0-29018-30
• sewing supplies - felt thread , scissors , chalk , ruler and a plate with a glass

Method:

• Choose a thick felt in a suitable color and trace a circle on the felt using a plate. If you don't have a plate, you can use, for example, a clear plastic plate or another round object the size of which suits your needs.
• Use a ruler to divide the circle into eight equal-sized triangles . You can use chalk or other suitable marking material for this.
• If you want to create a center circle in the bowl , use a smaller round object, such as a glass, and trace it into the center of the circle.
• You now have a circle divided into eight triangles that you can cut out and sew together. You can use thread in the color of the felt and stitch by hand or by machine.

• We cut out the felt wheel and cut it according to the pre-drawn lines .

• We sew the corners of the triangles together and always leave out one triangle when sewing.

• We will sew the remaining unsewn triangles behind the corners to the resulting little piece.

• We will mask the visible stitches after sewing the corners to the bowl with red pom-poms , which will decorate the bowl at the same time.
