Animal Cracker Pillows
Print out the templates, if you'd like to use them. You'll need to print them at 200% size at a local print shop (unless you have a large scale printer) to make them the size our pillows were. You can also use our templates as a guide and freehand your own shapes!
2. Trace your template onto your felt twice and cut both shapes out.
3. Pin the two pieces together and stitch around the entire outside with your sewing machine with a 1/2" seam, leaving a three-inch gap at the bottom of one of the feet.
4. Clip the seam along the inner curves before turning right side out. This makes the seam smoother once you stuff it! Turn right side out.
5. Stuff the pillow. Make sure you get stuffing in all the little areas on the animal, like the elephant's trunk and the rhino's horn.
6. Hand stitch the opening closed using a slip stitch.
7. Place a bead of hot glue on the back of a pom pom and glue it to the pillow. Repeat with as many pom poms as you'd like!
