Material list
In the artichoke technique, folded ribbons of bows or with Fabric cuts the help of scales Pins are put on and Polystyrene balls other styrofoam figures. This creates the typical "artichoke effect". By different folding techniques and variations when putting it on, it can be cleverly modified and of course the Selection materials also have a great influence on the look. Also Paper is well suited, folded or cut to fit. With fantasy and a few tricks artichoke balls are transformed into fancy decorative objects. Thus the classic, which wrongly has a somewhat "dusty" image, becomes highly topical again.
It's that simple:

Strawberry
Cut 4 x 4 cm fabric squares
Pin a spread square with Pins on the top of a Polystyrene-egg.Fold four fabric squares into a triangle, fold the corners in and pin them around the square at 2 corners with the top pointing up. The slit can point inwards or outwards.
Fold further fabric sections and pin them in staggered rows according to the above principle until Polystyrene figure is almost completely covered with fabric

Leaves
Cut 4 x 4 squares from light green and green Felt , cut triangles from these (cut diagonally). Fold in the long sides and fix them with the fold upwards and mixed colours until the end.

Pin a piece of wool cord to the strawberry (stem). Then cut small leaves from white and yellow Felt flowers and pistils and green Felt . Finally, fix them with a hot glue gun on the Cord .
