Description

Instructions

  1. Small p1040405

    Cut out circles of felt of various colors and sizes and pick out some buttons.

  2. Small p1040413

    Layout as many colors as you like to make your eyeball and decide where you want the bead/pupil will sit once it's all sewed up. You may want to decide on a color scheme.

  3. Small p1040408

    Put the bead one side as you make the first stitch, pushing the needle through and making one or two loops to secure the felt.

  4. Small p1040407

    Now you add your bead and make 4/5 loops to make it sit secure.

  5. Small p1040411

    Don't worry about how messy the back gets just be gentle and keep an eye on things staying secure.

  6. Small p1040414

    So I ditched the orange and went for some pink turquoise eyes.

  7. Small p1040424

    To make the mouth get another circle and scrunch up circle at the center and sew several loops to secure it stays scrunched up.

  8. Small p1040423

    It help to layout how where you want the eyes and mouth to go.

  9. Small p1040426

    Now you can attach the lips and eyes to your top. You may decide you want outline all the circles with stitched but I only went for the outer.
