Creatures of felt & yarn

I made this friendly little mushroom out of felt. I hand embroidered him with basic cotton embroidery thread & some sequins. Felt craft is fun & cheap & adults & kids can both do it!
This friendly little outer space rabbit was a lot of fun to make. You can buy cheap felt from any craft store & sometimes places like cheap as chips even stock it. I used teddy bear eyes from the craft shop.

This little alien has vintage buttons for eyes. Normally I would stuff my toys with craft stuffing which is available from places like spotlight crafts & sometimes Kmart. When I made this little guy I had run out of stuffing so I went to the bathroom cabinet & raided the cotton balls. Cotton balls make great stuffing provided that your felt friend is relatively small

This little guy is a friendly little monster. I used blanket stitch around the edges of this little crafty purple spotted creature

This little felt creation is a monster who only eats strawberries & apples

I crafted this felt apple as an homage to the plastic fruit that always lived in my Nana's fruit bowl

When I originally crafted this giant felt strawberry it was half the size, but it just kept eating the other strawberries in the punnet & it got fat.
Happy crafting illy
