How to make a PILLOW MONSTER!

** If you are looking for Trendy Toddler Tuesday, 
please visit Very Busy Mamá where it is being held this week**

Mami isn't the best at coming up with fun crafts, but every once in a while she does get an idea and it turns out to be GOOD!

This week we made a PILLOW MONSTER! And it's just what you think it is...a pillow monster. Simple and fun.

This is how we made it so you can try it too.



What you need:
An old pillow
An old long sleeved shirt - best if striped or with a pattern (this is the monster's body)
Rubber bands
Multi colored felt
Glue gun or felt glue

How to make the pillow monster:
Put the shirt over the pillow
Sew or glue the top if the neck is too wide
Put rubber bands on wrists
Cut out circles for the eyes - make them any shape or layer one on top of other
Cut out a funky nose
Cut out mouth and add fangs!
Cut long stripes of different color felt for the hair and fingers

Use glue gun or felt glue and paste eyes, nose, mouth and hair to the pillow. Mami did this because it's very dangerous for me.

After it was dry she went back and did some light sewing to make sure all the pieces stay in place.

Then the pillow monster is done. Check mine out!




Then take your pillow and SNUGGLE!

Cool, right?
