Felt Fruit
This leaflet contains a pretty centrepiece with embroidered felt pear, apple and banana, but leaves you to draft your own pattern. I realise that we don’t all have the confidence or drawing skills to create our own, so I did some research and found the following patterns that could be used for this project:
This free pear pattern kindly supplied by Paper Crafts & Scrapbooking. If you scroll down the page, you’ll find a link to download the pattern as a jpg or pdf.

Felt Egg
This free embroidered egg pattern by Shiny Happy World is the perfect base to make the eggs for the Easter table centrepiece. Adjust the size if necessary by changing the size percentage when you print it out.
