I made a very minor adjustment to this. I just bought a belt that had the right kind of buckle on it. I found one at a dollar store that had a rhinestone encrusted bucket, which I had to pry off (it took me 2 days, and I was questioning my miser ways the whole time). It did, in the end, turn out really great though and I hope my nephew loves it. This project took less then 10 minutes to complete (once I finally got those pesky rhinestones off), because I used good ol' super glue!
I made Shoey 3 of these and they turned out really adorable! I made a few adjustments on this also.
- I used an old baby towel for the backing instead of flannel (did I mention I'm a miser?)
- When I bound the whole outside I started in the center bottom front, I have no idea why they would start on the top it would seem like you would be fighting to keep it flat the whole time. *shrug*
- I questioned the instructions when they said to use the 31" piece for the whole outside, but that was, in fact, correct.
To sew 3 of these it probably took me 90 minutes, but I think with practice and no pinning you could whip them out much faster.
I ended up making 3 sets of these. They were super easy and very simple! I followed the directions exactly (see, I CAN do that). There's a version of these going around that you adhere velcro to the ends to help it stick to the carpet, it's a good idea I just didn't bother. I used fabric paint (the kind that doesn't bump up), and it probably took me about a hour (counting drying time) to make 20 pieces.
Happy crafting!
