Cool Wool Strawberry

Handmade Felt Strawberries

I found this cool strawberry on one of my favorite blogs http://liagriffith.com.  It can be made from either felt, wool or fabric.  The paper version of this strawberry is from paper scrapz and you can download the template there.  

I have a smaller version made from fabric that my sweet mother made for me when she was still alive.  I would share it here but it is packed away somewhere in my basement which is under construction.  Maybe when I get the decorations out for Christmas I can put a pattern together and share it on my blog.  For now, I think this one is a winner!
