I've made these penguins before and they are my go-to christmas gifts because who doesn't like penguins? These penguins were adapted from a bird tutorial i came across years ago. Check out the original blog here! Petite Purls.
You will need :
- bird template
- felt
- embroidery floss
- fabric scissors
- pins
- a needle
- glue
- twine
- a jingle bell
- stuffing
* the size and color of your penguin is up to you!
1. prep your templates onto felt and pin together
2. cut! you should have a body, a face, two wings, a beak, and a bow tie, but that's optional
3. sew on eyes and glue on a beak
4. this next step was meant to be sewn on, but because the sun was going down i had to glue on the pieces. the wings should go on the bottom two section of the body.
5. sew the body together
6. stuff your penguin and finish sewing to close
7. add a bell to twine, sew through the top, and knot the top
Now you have a penguin to add to your christmas tree or give to your friends and family! I recently made a set of four as a christmas gift to a super cute family. Thanks for reading!
