Allow paint to dry completely and then add your “dirt.”


Make dirt out of poly-fil and the brown jersey cotton material. Cut material to fit the width of your box, fold in half and then stitch along the edge, leaving a small opening on one side.






Fill jersey with poly-fil and then close hole by hand stitching.






Place in the box (once the paint is dry) and continue adding/creating “dirt” until you’ve filled the box. You should have small “rows” in between “dirt pillows.”





;
, Cut a large triangle from the orange felt and fold in half. Stitch along the bottom edge.


Cut out a circle to “top” your carrot, followed by a few green leaves from green felt. Sew leaves to the orange circle.






Stuff carrot with poly-fil and connect orange circle to the top of the carrot. Sew to close.
 Cut out a large purple circle and then cut 4 even triangles into the circle.


Sew triangle sections together until you have a pouch. Add poly-fil, cinch the top and tie to close off.






Make long beat using long leaves made from green felt, covered with a long, pointed purple stalk.






Insert green pipe cleaner into long leaves so they stand up straight and sew leaves and beat together.
 Cut out a circle that resembles a strawberry (so not a perfect circle). Create a pouch that can be filled with poly-fil.


Sew top closed.






Add leafy green top by cutting out a 4-leaf top. Attach a piece of Velcro to the bottom of the leaf and the top of the strawberry. Put them together to form one strawberry.
 Stuff vegetables down in between dirt pillow rows.
