My baby nephew's name is Carson, and we've started collecting Cars and Suns for him because of an accidental purchase of burp cloths with a sun and a car on them. Because it sounds like his name when said aloud! I've made a car rattle, as well, and will post it soon.

Description

My baby nephew's name is Carson, and we've started collecting Cars and Suns for him because of an accidental purchase of burp cloths with a sun and a car on them. Because it sounds like his name when said aloud! I've made a car rattle, as well, and will post it soon.

Instructions

  1. Small february craft projects 024 1266899930

    Cut out two circles of yellow felt, and two sunbursts of gold and orange, or whatever colors you like.

  2. Small february craft projects 025 1266901025

    Stitch your bells onto the center of one sunburst, going back through a few times, to make sure they're secure. Just in case baby manages to get it open somehow, so he/she won't be able to swallow a bell.

  3. Small february craft projects 026 1266900393

    Make a sandwich of your sunbursts, with the bells as your pb+j center.

  4. Small february craft projects 027 1266901673

    If you like, stitch a face on one of your circles before you do this next part. Place your sunburst sammie in between your yellow circles, and straight stitch almost all the way around.

  5. Stuff with polyfill, and finish stitching. Tie a knot, and put your needle back through the fabric, to the back side, snip very close to the felt. This way, your knot hides, and there's no dangly bit of thread left.
