New Pattern: Cute Critters

September 27, 2012

Cute Critters Cover
I've been working on these little felt critters for the past few weeks and I'm pretty excited about them! Plush keychains are huge for elementary and middle school kids here. I see them on almost every backpack. I figured it might be really fun to design a pattern so that you and your kids can make your own!

This pattern includes four fun critter friends: an owl, a mouse, a fox and a panda.

I've included expert tips on cutting felt accurately and my go-to source for high-quality, vibrantly colored, and affordably priced wool felt.

I now stock 4-packs of plastic keychain hooks for all your DIY keychain needs, too.

To make a Cute Critter you'll need  some wool felt scraps, some stuffing, a loop of ribbon and an hour or two of crafting time. Yay!
