My little niece is so lucky. And so am I. There I was with lots of scraps leftover and have no idea what to do with them. So off I go blog hopping looking and reading at the wonderful things other ladies are making when I just went ah-hah! a tag toy!! but need ribbons. Darn!
Off to Hokko the next day for a few selections. And lo and behold. I have taken step by step tutorial pictures on how to make a crinkly tag toy for babies/toddlers.
What you will need
Two rectangle pieces of fabric (you can make it any shape you want really)
scissors
pins
plastic bag
needle and thread
Step One:
Cut your plastic bag to your fabric size.
Step 2:
Sandwich you plastic in between your fabric. Make sure your fabric is facing inside. so fabric (facing upwards) plastics and fabric (facing downward)
Ok I have made an oopsie here. Before you do this step. Make sure you do step 3 & 4 first. apologies
Step 3:
Pin all your ribbons. In any way you like.
Step 4:
Do remember to give a bit of allowance for the seam. Satin ribbons tend to fray.
Step 5:
When you sew, remember to leave an opening easy enough for you to flip the tag toy inside out. And be careful of pins. I pricked myself so many times I cried.
Step 6:
Remove all pins. Flatten your toy and sew the opening close.
Enjoy the crinkly crinkle of your tag toy
