Squirrel Pins

Sew these cute little squirrel pins from scraps of felt

This project was an attempt to get rid of the piles of scrap felt I had lying about the house. It was made entirely of things I had left over from other projects and therefore cost me nothing to make. I also got to put a few smiles on some little faces in the process. Priceless :)
