For the past 2 weeks, I was struggling what to give her as birthday present. Last year, I made her a felt birthday cake. Glad to see the cake slices and fruit deco were on the toy plates from time to time ^^
This year I had planned something else. Since she loves to watch Barney show, most probably I will make her a Barney hand puppet to play with her brother and sister. :D
How to make a Barney puppet? Well, to me sounded simple:
- Start with searching the right image to trace Barney's image
- Tracing Barney's outer shape on a piece of paper
- Transfer the design to felt pieces accordingly
- Cut them out and pin them
- Sew with machine.
So far I had completed the tracing outline. I did some modification after got some pictures to use. Well, not all images in Google image can serve my need right? :) I will scan my draft and keep for future use. I actually planned to sell the template and instructions to gain more fund for my future craft projects. Just let me know if you interested after seeing the finished product.What I need to do next will be transferring them on the felt. Water erasable pen is a good helper at this moment, I has less worry on any mistake as it can be erase and redraw in a minute. I shall do the transfer on Wednesday night cause tonight I am hosting my Waldorf parenting study group at home for first time. Tonight we will be preparing some paper lantern carft for our mid autumn celebration.
Will keep you updated then.
To be continue...
