Makes 1 busy book page
What You Will Need
- Stiff felt sheet (I used these large sheets cut in half)
- Felt scraps
- Dog house pattern page
- Dog pattern page
- Paint marker (one white and one black)
- Ribbon
- Sewing machine
- Thread
- Scissors
- Stuffing
Instructions
- Start by printing out both pattern pages for the dog and the dog house. Then, cut all of your pieces from the felt.
- The eyes on the dog pieces will need to be painted on! Start by using the white paint pen on the eye. It may take several coats to make it look right.Once the white portion is dry, add a small black dot with a black paint pen.
- While your eyes are drying, you can place the dog house onto the stiff felt and sew around the house and roof.
- Once the eye has dried, start on your dog by sewing an ear to both halves. Use thread to add a mouth.
- Sew the ribbon to the dog's neck like a collar. Sew it to both halves at the same time. Flip the dog where the wrong sides were together and sew around, leaving the belly open.
- Add just a very small amount of stuffing to the dog and closed up this seam.Then, just attach the other end of the ribbon to the inside of the dog house.
Notes
- Be sure to leave the door open so your dog has a place to go!
