Favorite Stuffed Animal Project

by Katy G.
(Weatherford, TX, USA)

1. Make a template of your favorite stuffed animal by outlining it at least 1/2 inch from the sides (an animal that can lay flat with its legs out and has no tail is best).

2. After cutting the template out, lay it on two layers of a solid color fabric that has short or medium fuzz, like felt, and draw the outline on the top layer of material.

3. Pin the layers together and cut out the animal.

4. Hand-sew or machine-sew at least 3/4s of the way around.

5. Turn your animal right side out and stuff.

6. Sew the opening closed.

7. Decorate. I used rainbow crinkle ribbon for the face on my frog and beaded the face on my bear. If you use glue, eco crafting glue works best.
