When I thought of making things on the mountain at camp, I immediately thought of some adorable plush mountains. It’s so meta.

Plush Mountains

Supplies Needed:

+ About 1 square foot of Gray cotton fabric
+ White felt
+ White embroidery floss
+ White thread
+ Gray thread
+ Poly-fil

You can either use the following template sized to US Letter or create your own template. You do you when it comes to mountains, you know?

Level of Difficulty: Easier than the 23 hours I’m driving to get to camp.
