Designed by Krista, our felt mushroom Halloween basket is the perfect addition to any witch, fairy, or woodland creature costume. Just coordinate your colors or have your little one select her favorites.

The felt pieces for this basket are simple to cut by hand, though you can always use your cutting machine if you prefer. You’ll find both the printable template and SVG file below — along with the step-by-step tutorial.

How to Make a Felt Mushroom Halloween Basket

1. Gather your craft tools and materials. Then download the pattern below.
2. Cut out felt according to template using a cutting machine with a rotary blade (optional) or scissors. You will need a longer cutting mat for the big pieces. Measure and cut out the rectangles for the toadstool basket stem and strap.
3. Whip stitch the spots onto the toadstool cap pieces where you want them using 2 strands of white floss. Keep them placed away from the top-middle 1″ for the darts later.
4. Cut out and iron the firm interfacing onto the backsides of their corresponding felt pieces. Use a press cloth between your iron and project to prevent the wool felt from burning. Note that the toadstool cap underside piece has two layers of interfacing, for extra rigidity. Iron them on one layer at a time.
