Happy new crafternoon year! The Greater Boston Area breathed a sigh of relief as the year finally got off to a start with the first crafternoon of the season.
Emulating the great sock monkey crafternoon of yore, we set out once again to construct cute little animals made of clothing… this time: glove squirrels!
We followed this great tutorial that I found on Pinterest via Lark Crafts – unfortunately the original source seems to have been lost.
We had a few new appearances, all showing stellar levels of craftiness…
Well, I say stellar. This is Ms Biden, asking “so what do I do now?!?!” Oh, Biden.
And here’s one of the little cuties with a fabric covered nose!
And the final masterpieces, hanging out as squirrels are wont to do.
Another successful crafternoon, ladies!
So cute!
I’m going to have to make one of these for my niece. Such a great idea!
I’m pretty sure that the original source is a book called “Sew Me Love Me” by Hsiu-Lan Kuei although it’s a chipmunk, not a squirrel.
Correction It’s from Happy Gloves: Charming Softy Friends Made From Colorful Gloves (HP Trade, 2008) by Miyako Kanamori.
