These are cute little stuffed animals that you can make out of felt. You'll have to make your own pattern but that shouldn't be too hard. This is a pretty easy project as long as you know how to sew. I'd love it so much if you made one of these and sent me a picture of it! ([email protected])

you'll need
a pattern (you'll have to make this yourself. 2 sheets of the same color felt 1 sheet of a contrasting color thread a normal sewing needle and an embroidery needle embroidery floss in a light color buttons PolyFill (all avaible at a craft or fabric store)

Step 1 To make your pattern, simply draw a simple animal shape on a peice of paper. It should be about the size of a standard 8 1/2 by 11 sheet of paper. Make sure the arms, legs and ears aren't too small. The smaller they are the harder to stuff. Then, cut it out.
Step 2 Pin down the pattern on a peice of felt. Carefully and slowly cut along the pattern. Unpin the pattern.
Step 3 Take your first felt cut-out and pin that to another peice of felt. Cut along the already cut-out peice. Trim any little mistakes you've made. Cut out a heart from your felt scraps. (don't use the contrasting color!)
Step 4 Now you can use the contrasting color. Lightly sketch and cut out, a circle (this should be a little bit smaller than the stomach) and 2 ear shapes (slightly smaller than ears but LONGER). Sew the heart onto the center of the circle. Then, sew the circle onto the stomach of the animal. Sew the 2 ear shapes onto the ears.
