Equipment

  • Tea towel (any color)
  • Pencil
  • Sewing machine
  • Stuffing

Instructions

  • I took a piece of a tea towel I had leftover from a pillow project. Traced around one of my real starfish and cut out two pieces.
  • Next, sew a zig zag stitch about 1/4″ or so from the edge with your sewing machine.
  • Sew all the way around but leave a small opening for the stuffing.
  • Stuff and then sew up the opening.
  • Now your starfish is complete!

Notes

You will want a stuffer tool or the eraser end of a pencil to get in those long arms.
