We are making a Birthday Crown for someone who will soon turn 6 and who loves mushrooms and autumn. You can make such a crown in several ways, today we choose felt and embroidery. We first drew, printed and cut out and now we put the pattern online for you. Just in case you're having a party for a 6 year old Autumn child soon!

Pin the parts on and start embroidering.

Sew the number in the center.

We place the fox next to it.

Pin and sew on the white parts.

Embroider the eyes and the nose.

Now the little fox is done but we have a small open space...

We sew on an autumn leaf in the empty spot and are happy now.

Pin the crown parts together and place the ribbon between them, sew it on in 1 go.

Embroider the top layer of the crown with a backstitch onto the bottom layer.

Finish the top by using the blanket stitch.

We have worked hard and are happy with our crown!

We think our birthday boy will be very pleased when he wakes up to this! Happy Birthday to you!
