Hello everyone! It's been terribly hot here in Sydney and I am so thankful for air conditioning! I have been working on something a little bit different and I can say that I am hooked....plushies! I ordered two sets from Simon Says Stamp last year and I have been busy making different owl and sun plushies. I have decided that this year, I will offer this as a co-curricular class for students when I return to school as I know that they will love making them as well.
To create the owls you need two main colours for the body and scraps for the rest. I started using hot glue to attach my pieces but found that a wet glue worked best for me.
I plan to display these owls in my classroom...great home decor pieces.
The Happy Sunshine is the actual plushie that I will make with the students. I suggest that if you plan to make this with children to use a wool needle as it has a blunt point and also a large eye.
Below is a video tutorial on how to create make this plushie. It is a beginner level and it is very back to basics.
Supplies:
wool needle, embroidery floss, felt, cotton balls, Simon Says Stamp Plush Little Owl wafer die, and Happy Sunshine wafer die
Great tutorial and a fun project for your students.
