How to: Dinosaur


Hi everyone!

I've had a huge break from felting this year (I've taken up compulsively reading wedding blogs instead). I have done one big felt project though - a T-Rex for a friend's birthday. I kind of made up the design as I went along, as always.

Step 1. Cut up felt pieces. Two dino-shaped side pieces, a piece with legs and tummy for the front and a leaf piece of the back of his head.


Step 2. Join the two side pieces together by sewing along the back of the dinosaur starting from the tail. Then sew on the back of the head.




Step 3. Now pin on the front piece and sew along all the edges.




Step 4. Now flip him inside out.


Step 5. Sew on some eyeballs and teeth.

Step 6. Cut out a piece for dino's bottom.


Step 7. Stuff and seal!




Step 8. Add a ribbon and T-Rex is ready to rumble!
