You Will Need (10 things)

  • Brad(s)
  • Stuffing
  • Ribbon
  • Pin(s)
  • Scissors
  • Needle & Thread
  • Button(s)
  • Red Felt
  • Light brown Felt
  • Orange Felt

Steps (6 steps, 60 minutes)

  1. 1

    Cut two of A in light brown felt to make the robin's body.
    Cut one of B in red felt to make the breast.
    Cut two of C for the legs and feet.
    Cut one of D for the beak.
    The scale is up to you, but I'd say a good size would be to fit him in the palm of your hand.

  2. 2

    Stitch B on one layer of A in backstitch.

  3. 3

    Sew on little assorted red buttons.

  4. 4

    Stitch on D in backstitch, position as a beak. Use black brads or seed beads for the eyes.

  5. 5

    Sew on the other layer of A in backstitch close to the edges. Sew a small length of folded ribbon for a hanger and the two C's for legs as you work your way around. Make sure you leave a small gap to stuff your robin, then sew up the hole.

  6. 6

    And here he is!
    Mine is called Mister Redford.
