Forget-me-not mug

My mum collects mugs and cups with forget-me-not flowers. Each time it is more difficult to find one she doesn't have yet so I've decided to make her one out of felt. (Luckily she doesn't drink from them!)

Materials:

- 9"x12" sheet of felt in light colour (natural, beige, flesh, white...)
- felt in green and light blue (cut offs are fine)
- yellow beads (optional)
- matching thread:  natural, light blue, green, yellow
- contrasting (or matching) embroidery thread (I used light blue)
- iron on Vilene (optional)
- scissors
- needle
- pins

Step 1 Measuring and cutting

I'm not very good at measuring so I traced an existing enamel cup onto the paper and then cut it out of felt.

Light felt- The mug
- 2x 7.5 x 25cm (3" x 10")
- 2x circle ∅ 8 cm (3")
- 1x 3 x 12cm (1,2" x 5")

Vinele (optional)
- 1x 7.5 x 25cm (3" x 10")
- 1x circle ∅  8 cm (3")

Blue felt- Flowers
- about 15 tiny flowers (with 5 petals)

Green felt- Leaves''''
- about 8 small leaves in drop shape

Very beautiful what if you stitched around outside of a coffee mug? then mom could drink out of it, and remove the fabric before washing it

Thank you! Good idea. Now I'm thinking to make a cup cozy. But mum doesn't drink from her forget-me-not mugs anyway :o)
