Stuffed Animals

Only slightly more advanced than making paper bag puppets, making stuffed animals is simple to do but can have a big impact if you chose to use the stuffed animals in your home or if you plan on giving an animal as a gift. Stuffed animals are relatively simple to create. You simply take two exact cutouts of an animal shape, sew all but one side together, fill the animal with batting and finish sewing the remainder of the edges. If you can move the fabric along its edges in a sewing machine, you can make this craft. If you do not own a sewing machine, you can sew the animal by hand. In some cases, this can create and even more authentic looking country craft.
