A funny kitten made from a sock and filled with dried flowers to give the toy a pleasant aroma can be made in just a couple of hours. The baby’s joy from joint creativity with his mother and from playing with the resulting funny animal will be long-lasting.
To work you will need:
• couple of socks,
• scissors,
• thread and needle,
• padding polyester,
• dried flowers,
• black floss thread,
• beads and ribbons for decoration,
• eyes.
To make a toy, it is better to use bright, colorful socks, the heel of which is different in color from the main part.
To begin, take one sock and, turning it inside out, place it in front of you with the heel facing up.
Using scissors, cut the sock in half, starting from the toe and not reaching the heel. These will be the cat's hind legs. And then do the same on the side of the boot.Only in this case make the cut somewhat shorter.
Sew the cut edges together, leaving a small hole so the sock can be turned inside out. Fill the toy with stuffing and dried flowers, and then sew up the hole. The cat's body is ready, it's time to start making the head.
Take another sock, turn it inside out and cut the toe, but not evenly, but leaving corners for future ears. Also cut off part of the sock on the other side. Sew the cut edges in the same way as in the previous case, leaving a hole. Turn the “head” out and stuff it with padding polyester. And then sew the hole up to the end and attach the kitten’s head to the body.
Now you can start making the tail. Cut an oblong piece of fabric from the remaining part of the sock. Sew around the edges and stuff it loosely with filling. Carefully sew the tail to the cat's body.
The toy is almost ready. All that remains is to give the kitten a “face” and decorate the cute animal. Using black satin floss thread, embroider the nose and mouth, and then glue on the eyes, which can be purchased at any sewing store. Tie a bow around your neck. You can decorate your ears with beads.
The toy is ready. Such a cute, flower-smelling kitten will certainly please any child.
