This year, something possessed me to make slippers AND stuffed animals.
Let me pause here to say that I don't own a sewing machine... or even know how to use one.
*sigh*
You can imagine what my hands look like right now. And even worse, what they feel like...
For the slippers, I bought 9 sheets of felt, one sheet of foam (for added sole support), and three decorative patches. Total cost: $6.50
The stuffed animals are repurposed pillowcases, buttons that I already had, and felt leftover from the slippers. Total cost: nothing
LOVE that.
I've finished 2 out of 3 pairs of slippers and 1 of 3 stuffed animals.
It's taking me roughly 2 days for each at this point, now that I've gotten into a rhythm.
So, you won't see tons of paper projects from me right now. And I know they are rather wonky, but that's okay... because my kids are going to love these on Christmas morning!
*smile*
Leaving you with a few pics. The slippers really aren't that off... I think one was curled up when I photographed it, but they are the same size. Promise!

Cute! I think you got the creative genes for the both of us. :)
I have a sewing machine but can't use it. LOL. Those are both so cute. what lucky kids.
Heather, I have been putting off the scrapbooking for YEARS--never knowing where to start, what to put in, how to lay it all out--and then I trip over this page on Facebook....I was impressed, and then I saw the page that looks like a year book page--with the faces of friends throughout the years--and then I was really impressed! So cool that I may have to steal the idea...if I ever get started!
