Homemade toys

Pom pom Dust Bunny and some Totoro links :-)

File 276At the moment, My Neighbour Totoro is a big hit in my house Smile And a giant Totoro teddy to snuggle with is no. one on the Birthday wish list. Right now, though, I need to work from my stash for financial reasons Wink So I'll start out with the smallest thing - a dust bunny Smile It takes about 10 minutes to make, and children can do some of the work themselves.

Nine - Frankenstein's cat

File 245

Meet Ni - Frankenstein's cat Smile He's made from small amounts of yarn, fiber filling and small pieces of felt, and uses pipe cleaners for head, leg and tail support.

Santa beard

File 221This beard is an essential part of a Santa costume Smile Here you see my own Santa, who needs the beard for dressing up on Christmas and handing out all the presents Wink

Crocheted toy eyes

File 167

This pattern is for 3 varieties of toy eyes Smile I often make toys for my boys, and I really don't like using plastic eyes for various reasons. That's why I made these eyes, which can be used for most types of toys (or garments). They're also great for replacement eyes, in case toy chewing pets eats the original eyes on teddies Wink
