No-Sew Miniature Camping Set

SUPPLIES & TOOLS:

• Nine popsicle sticks [wood craft sticks]
• 24"x 12" piece of cotton fabric
• Three pieces of 9" x 12" felt
• 5" Square of faux fur fabric
• Poly-fil/fiber fill/fluff
• Fabric scissors
• Fabric Fusion
• Glue gun

DIRECTIONS:

1. This project creates one dollhouse play tent, one sleeping bag, one pillow, and one faux sheepskin rug, scaled for play with 3.5" dolls.
2. To make the tent A-frame structure, glue the popsicle sticks from the ground up following the diagram provided.
3. To find the downloadable patterns and diagrams click on the "GET PATTERNS" tab above.
4. Use the pattern to cut the tent fabric. Continue cutting patterns for the felt components and the faux sheepskin rug.
5. To complete the tent, fold the .5" glue area backward and fabric fusion to a finished size of 15"x 4.625". Using your glue gun, glue the short end of the completed tent fabric to the bottom of the popsicle stick A-frame. Continue wrapping the tent fabric around the A-frame and glue it to the three horizontal sticks.
6. Glue the triangle felt piece to the back of the tent.
7. Fold the short side of the felt sleeping bag forward, fold/glue the flaps to the back.
8. Fold felt pillow, glue three sides, stuff with poly-fil, glue the final side.
9. Add felt icons to decorate your camping set. And play!

JOANN HACKS:

• We made three camping sets. If you want to make three, triple your materials and mix and match fun colors and patterns.
• Ironing your fabric's folds before using fabric fusion gives your final design a crisper look and to more easily see areas for applying adhesive.
• This project was designed as a no-sew project, but the gluing can be replaced with simple sewing.
• Decorate with paint, stencils, fabric markers or add embellishments to personalize your camping set.
