This project is super easy to sew and can be made from a variety of non-stretch fabrics. I'm using a custom printed fabric that I had made through Spoonflower. It's a nice quality Kona Cotton. You can use vibrant prints or something more subtle and classic like an unbleached cotton. The choice is yours!
A Few Notes on Supplies:
The fabric, felt, and poly-fil stuffing are all fairly easy to find (or something you might already have on hand).
The acrylic gems can usually be found in the floral department at your local craft store. Here's a link to them on Etsy or you can paint a 1" wooden ball (also available at a local craft store or online).
The base is made from a purchased candlestick, you can use something decorative or find a bulk package of wooden candlesticks and paint them with craft paint.
Hot glue gun: After recording this video and being frustrated with my super short cord and unstable glue gun/cardboard stand, I came across the genius Lynn Lilly Edition Mini Cordless Glue Gun. I ordered it immediately! It's amazing!
