As a grownup, it may not be considered entirely apt for you to be found drooling over cute cuddly stuffed animals unless you wanted to be seen as an eccentric one. However, let us admit that most of us do drool over these and do tend to have a cuddle or two when you are out buying cuddly stuffed toys for kids. However, this article will make you feel good because it is about felt animals’ art, which means that you can make cute animals using felt but label it as an art or craft. The best aspect of felt animals’ art, is that you can create the animal in the way you want it instead of the standard cutesy stuffed animals that you get in the market. If you want to get inspired, you can look at cute pictures of baby animals to make your heart smile. This will send your thoughts and creativity in the right direction. And the best part about working on felt animals’ art is that it need not always be a toy. You can use it to decorate other things and use it for other purposes.

Wie versprochen, folgt nun das tutorial fürs Essen zum Filzherd. (Ein paar Tage überfällig, aber uns hatte ein Kinderkrippen-Virus erwischt. Damit waren wir jetzt erstmal beschäftigt.) Aber nun sind alle wieder unaufhaltsam auf dem Wege der Besserung und es kann losgehen mit dem Filz-Essen-tutorial. Was toll ist am Filz-Essen ist, daß man es auch ohne Nähmaschine nähen kann, super geeignet für trübe Herbsttage und -abende! Los geht es mit den Wiener Würstchen: Man nehme 1 DIN A4 Bogen rosa Filz, Füllwatte, Nähgarn (z.B. auch in rosa...zur Not tuts aber auch weiß!) Zuschnitt ca 10-11x18cm Filz für ein Würstchen. (Man bekommt so 3-4 Stück aus einem DIN A 4 Bogen) Die Rohlinge werden in der Mitte zusammengeklappt und dann am Rand zusammengenäht. (0,5cm Nahtzugabe)...ginge auch mit der Hand! Nun werden die Würstchenrohlinge gewendet. Das ist etwas kniffelig, aber es geht. Nur Geduld! Dann wird ein Ende des Würtschens von Hand zugenäht und zwar mit einer sog. "Tabaksbeutelnaht", dabei wird in kleinen Stichen um den gesamten Umfang des Würstchen genäht, alles fest zusammengezogen und dann vernäht und verknotet. Man macht das so, das ein "Zipfel" übrig bleibt. Verstanden? Das Bild hilft sicher: So, nun wird das Würstchen mit Füllwatte gestopft, schön fest! Und nun wird nur noch das andere Ende des Würstchens in der selben Art verschlossen (denn wir alle wissen: "Alles hat ein Ende nur die Wurst hat zwei!"....la-la-la-la-la-la!...tschuldigung. weiter im Text. kleiner Ausrutscher. kommt nicht wieder vor.) Fertig ist das Würstchen! Jetzt schnell ein zweites machen! Ich habe ca 15 min für beide gebraucht...also ein schnelles Projekt. Die Biegung bekommen sie übrigens, weil ich sie fest gestopft habe, danach kann man ein bisschen biegen und die behalten ihre Form. Man kann sie aber auch wieder grade biegen.... So. Was gibts dazu? Nudeln! So gehen "Farfalle": Man braucht: 1 Din A 4 Bogen gelben Filz, gelbes Nähgarn, wenn vorhanden Zick-Zackschere. Als erstes ca 5 cm breite Streifen mit der Zick-Zackschere abschneiden: Dann von den Streifen wiederum ca 4-4,5 cm grosse Stücke mit der normalen Schere abschneiden, jedes Stück wird eine Nudel, schneidet so viele, wie ihr wollt. Dann werden die Nudeln in der Mitte mit der Hand und einer Nadel mit gelben Nähgarn "gerafft". Dafür entlang der Mitte ca 3-4 Stiche machen, die Nudel um 180° drehen und wieder zurückstechen. Dann die Nudel wie eine kleine Ziehharmonika zusammenziehen, noch ein paar mal hin und herstechen, Faden vernähen. Fertig! Fertig! Und dazu? Erbsen! Erbsen sind total einfach: man nehme 1m grünes Pom-Pom-Band (das heisst echt so...man bekommt es in Stoffgeschäften) Und schneidet die Pom-Poms ab! Fertig sind die Erbsen! Vorsicht bei Kindern unter 3 Jahren! Erbsen können verschluckt werden! Für kleine Kinder lieber ein anderes Gemüse als Beilage machen. Mhmmm. Lecker oder!? Damit es etwas Abwechslung gibt habe ich noch Spinat mit Spiegelei gemacht. Für das Ei brauchen wir ein paar kleine Reste weissen und gelben Filz und einen Rest Füllwatte. Zuerst wird das Eiweiß zweimal aus weissem Filz ausgeschnitten, dann das Eigelb als kleiner Kreis. Den Kreis dan rundum etwas einschneiden. Dann wird das Eigelb mit ein winzigen Stückchen Füllwatte gefüllt. Und dann darunter etwas mit ein paar Stichen zusammenziehen. Dann wird diese kleine Halbkugel mit der offenen Seite nach unten von Hand auf eine der Eiweiß-Scheiben genäht. Dann habe ich die Nähmaschine benutzt, um beide Eiweiss-Scheiben aufeinanderzunähen. (Zick-Zack-Stich) Es ginge aber auch ganz einfach von Hand! Fertig ist das Spiegelei! Spinat dazu gefällig? Puppeneinfach: von einem dunkelgrünen Stück Filz schmale Streifen abschneiden. Mit der Scheere oder mit dem Rotary-Cutter. Fertig! Mimi lieeebt ihren Herd und ihr Essen so sehr, daß ich auch noch welches für die Kinderkrippe gemacht habe. Es wäre aber auch ein schönes Mitbringsel für eine Puppenküchen-Köchin....evtl. auch kombiniert mit meinem Filz-Mitnehm-Herd, für die die es noch werden wollen! Wer möchte findet hier noch mehr Filz-Essen-Ideen: ich habe die Hühner-Beinchen und den Brokkoli gemacht. Danas tutorials sind toll! Viel Spass beim Nähen und beim Kochen! Bei Fragen schreibt mir einfach etwas in die Kommentare! Eure Mimismami

If you've been around since the beginning of Lo & Behold Stitchery, you might remember that key fobs were my JAM. Back in the early days, I cranked out SO many key fobs in all sorts of variations and stocked my Etsy shop with them. They are super fun to make and very quick and rewarding! I eventually phased out of making them for sale, but I do still really enjoy making one from time to time! They make great teacher gifts, stocking stuffers, party favors....whatever you'd like! All you need is some scrap fabric, scrap batting and a key ring (which you probably already have!) Gather all of your supplies and lets get to it! PS - Looking for a printable PDF?
