This is a cute Halloween craft we did last year so I thought I'd share it.
What you need:
- Felt
- Needle and thread (or hot glue gun and glue)
- Straight pins (unless you make a cardboard or paper template)
- Googly eyes
- Ribbon
- Fill/batting
- Scissors

I made a template and pined it to another piece of felt to cut out the other side. |

Start gluing/sewing together both sides (don't forget ribbon for hanging!) | |

When it's 75% glued, stuff it! This is a great job for little fingers! |
