DIY Plantable Felt Garden Box

It's Katie here. I recently made one of my most favorite toys for my kiddos and I just had to share! I have to admit, when this idea popped into my head I may have gotten a little overly excited. You see, one of our very favorite things to do as a family is tend to the garden, but since we live in the Midwest there has been none of that for many months now.

Supplies: -A color variety of felt (purple, orange, green, and red were necessities for me)-Green pipe cleaners-Velcro-Brown paint & paint brush-Brown jersey cotton-Needle & thread/scissors Now, let's start with the garden box.

Voila! DIY Constellation Lamp. I’ve been meaning to tackle this project for months, but I was worried it wouldn’t work out the way I pictured because I hadn’t really done much embroidery other than some cross-stitching when I was like, ten.

Luckily my fears were unfounded, and it turned out even better than I imagined. It was the perfect project for cold winter days while mainlining a tv show on netflix (I watched all of Call the Midwife,which left me terrified of childbirth, oops). The random nature of this lampshade means that even if you use my constellation templates, every version will be different, and it would certainly be fun to mix in more constellations.
