Cute handmade carrot felt keychain


Today i will show you how to make a cute handmade carrot keychain. This one i made for my colleagues when i worked for a fruit store, its shape is same the store's logo. That's why it has the orange leaves instead of a green one. If you want, you can make it with a green leaf, i'm sure it will be much cuter




Let's go!

What we need:
Needle
Thread
Felt 
Polyester fiberfill
Keychain ring




Cut parts of felt carrot like in pattern (if you can't draw it well, you can get the pattern from the logo of this web here.
Sew around it and stop at the position nearby the leaf.





Put polyester fiberfill inside







Sew the leaves ( you can use green leaves)
Note: At the end of sewing, we sew many rounds, so that we can attach the keychain ring firmly after that.





Attach the keychain ring, the we got a cute carrot keychain 








Have a nice day.

Decorate flowers - Heighten feelings


Do you know? According to behavioral research conducted at Rutgers, The State university of New Jersey, nature provides us with a simple way to improve emotional health - FLOWERS. The presence of flowers triggers happy emotions, heightens feelings of life satisfaction and affects social behavior in a positive meaner far beyond what is normally believed. For more information from this  you can read here.                        

That's why there is often a vase of flowers in my living room or on the table where i work . It's really make my mood better, feel comfortable.. You can chose any kinds of flower you love, but better it can keep long-lived. The flower i like is orchid because it has many kinds, many colors and long-lived.
 Especially, when the orchids almost fade, we can take full advantage of the rest of orchids and make other kind of decorating your place. Like below picture i made.
  
Simply, we only need to put a little water into a deep dish or a wide glass flower vase and then put the flower into. we can also put chrysanthemums, jasmine, or rose petals, etc... instead of orchids.


With simple steps, we can renew our place, refresh our emotion.
Just do it.
