Pine cone

Glue colorful beads on a pine cone. It becomes tiny Christmas tree.
Big and symmetrical cone is better.

Ferret

Stuffed ferret, 25 centimetre length and 13 cm height.
Furry coat of creme and chocolate, with felt nails.







This is a trial-made ferret.
I think the face and body should be longer.
But the shorter is pretty.

I haven't seen a genuine ferret. But I've seen a lot of books about ferrets.
Generally, a ferret's face seems to be round at the front, and sharp in the profile.

Origami dog

Origami is traditional craft in Japan.
A piece of paper becomes various things.
Most children know how to make a paper crane.

A dachshund of strong paper.


We can put light things in its back.


There are lot of origami books, but they are difficult to try.

Mouse pincushion

In Chinese calendar, 2008 is mouse year. We send the New Year's cards which were decorated with the picture of mice.

Why not make felt mouse?


Cutting. The tail and ears don't need seam allowance.


Sew the tail. You may use a cord as the tail.


Sew the back.


Sew up the body and bottom.
Put thick paper into the body.
Stuff and close.

Santa Claus

Mini Santa Claus doll and reindeer of felt.
Hand-stitched and glued.



Pattern and process is this page ... Mini Santa.

Mickey Mouse

Felt mascot of Mickey Mouse. 9.5 centimetres.
It cannot stand.
The making process is the same as Stitch.

I sewed it. But I suspect the merit on making such thing.
It takes much time, and doesn't look so good until getting skills.
Moreover, we can buy cheaper and better goods at a Disney shop.

Addition:
Its tail is a thread.
