CRAFT: Stuffed Animals from Kids' Drawings

mkd101699_wi08_penguins.jpgTo bring a child's drawing to life, pin the cut-out drawing, facedown, to two pieces of fabric. Trace with a fabric pencil, leaving about 1/4 inch all around. Cut out. Sew on button eyes. Pin fabric again, right sides facing. Sew together, leaving an opening for batting. Stuff with batting, and then sew closed. Sew on other features, such as ears, limbs, and embellishments.

[From Martha Stuarts website.  Really cute idea.  I plan on making these for my grandkids!]
