- Cut a pipe cleaner into three. Take the first piece and bend the top into a loop to make a head. Fold the other pieces in half and twist onto the stem to make limbs.
- Fold the limbs in half again so there are no sharp ends and twist together to secure. This will ensure the legs don’t poke through your pet’s body. (pic a)
- Place the pipe cleaner frame onto a piece of paper and draw around to make a thick body shape. Use this as a template to cut two pieces of brown felt. Sandwich the pipe cleaner frame between the two body pieces and check the limbs will fit inside the felt outline.
- Cut a ’splodge’ shape from black felt with a tail piece on one end and glue this to the back of one of the body pieces. (pic b)
- Place the pipe cleaner frame between the felt pieces. (pic c)
- Use a needle and thread to sew all the way around the shapes, tucking small pieces of fibre stuffing into the main body and head to give it some padding. (pic d)
- Glue on ears, nose and a collar from felt and add a pair of small wiggle-eyes. Line a small oval box with coloured felt for a home and pop into your pocket.
