His nursery theme will be giraffe's and the colors will be yellow & gray with turquoise as an accent. I was going to do a step by step instructional on how to make this, but there are A LOT of steps. Not that it took that long to make, but posting pictures and instructions would get a bit lengthy and I just don't feel like doing it :) Although, if you would like more instructions or helpful tid-bits please feel free to email me at thenannythatknits@gmail.com with any questions. And as always, if you make one yourself, I would LOVE to see a picture!
First I got some giraffe silhouette's off of the internet, trying to find different poses, which proved harder than I thought. I found 5 total and cut them out on felt. Then I hand stitched them to squares of fabric.
Next, I cut the squared edges off to fit each individual felt shape.
Before sewing the back and front together, I made sure and put a ribbon in the seam to allow for hanging.
I then filled it full of batting.
And hand-stitched it together.
Here they are all finished and ready to be hung.
Then, it was time to sew the ribbons to the hoop.
I made sure they were the same length of ribbon and sewn the same length from the hoop, for continuity.
The finished product!!
I can't wait until it's hung over his crib!
