My next few projects will be using these to create a Hedgehog, A Sheep and a Snowman!
I used the shapes function on my word processor to draw the circles and overlap them slightly. I then softened the join to make a smoother shape.
For the hedgehog...
 |
Cut out the felt pieces as shown. I used Pinking Sheers for a spikey effect. The heart & bow were from pre-cut shapes & you will need a pop pom for the nose. You will need 2 brown peices for the body, 1 off-white piece for the underside/belly, 1 heart shaped piece for the face (cream), 4 small grey squares rounded off on one side for paws, a hanging loop & stuffing.
|
 |
Sew the brown pom pom on to a heart shaped piece of cream felt for the face and then stitch 2 eyes using brown thread
|
 |
Straight stitch the face to the 'Belly' (off-white felt) and sew 4 paws. I used squares of grey felt which I rounded off at the corners.
|
 |
Add the heart and bow or any other decoration you like
|
 |
Sew a hanging loop to one of the Brown body pieces. It's ok to stitch all the way through the felt as this will be covered up when you sew the 'belly' on top of it.
|
 |
Using a back stitch fix the belly to the brown body piece (covering the stitching for the loop) and then back stitch the 2 body pieces together. You need to do this a neat as you can so there is a good finish on both sides. Leave a gap and add your stuffing before closing up.
|
 |
| And here's your finished Felt hedgehogs.
They are pretty straight forward to do and I think they are pretty cute. I'm going to play around with colours and combinations and I'm sure I will enjoy making more of these.
I hope you like them.
In my next post I will show you how to make a felt sheep using the same template pattern.
Thanks for looking at my blog x
