Baby Crinkle Toy

So I can't take credit for this but I can show two of the ones I made. My relief society had a craft day not long ago and I had come across this awesomely easy tutorial a while back and though it would be something really easy to do as a craft! It required little sewing and is a great gift idea for babies or showers! The link I got the idea from is:

I thought it was a great idea so I made some! I won't post pictures of how I made them since Joy's Hope does a great job. I will say though, you have to be careful when sewing the crinkle part in the toy. I used an old tortilla chip bag and it worked great but if the stitches were too small, the bag would tear along the seam as I was turning it right side out. I would recommend using a very large stitch, probably a little smaller than a basting stitch, when sewing it inside out. Here are the two I made!


I know, its kind of a lame blog post but I have been so busy lately with my boys and redoing my room and Christmas presents that I haven't been able to post anything and I have a few minutes while Dallin is eating (playing) with his breakfast so I thought I would quickly do it. I do have lots of awesome things I have been working on and after the Holidays I hope to be able to post some tutorials on making QUILLOWS, CHRISTMAS STOCKINGS, and a CAR SEAT BAG!
