About

I went to see the Hunger Games movie the day it came out, but I didn't make these guys until August. I had reread the series and I just thought this would be really cool, so...Here they are! p.s. That's Katniss, Peeta, Gale, Prim, Effie, Haymitch, and Rue from left to right. p.p.s. sorry about the lack of pics :)

    DETAILS

    First, add any details to body like felt, embroidery, or crocheted parts. There's a little flower in Rue's hair, I made Peeta a felt apron, Haymitch has a bowtie, that sort of thing.
    Sew body to head using long tail
    Cut pieces of yarn for hair and tie to loops on head

  4. 4

    OPTIONAL

    For Katniss, I drew a bow shape on shrinky dink paper amd colored it silver with a silver sharpie. I punched holes for the string to go through in the ends, shrank it, and tied the string in it. Tada! If you have any questions, post in the comments!
