Make a Comment ( None so far )There is no doubt that babies love to squeeze and cuddle things that will make a noise in response (and yes, some grown-ups like this too!). Susan Beal from CraftStylish shows you how you can turn a few empty plastic wrappers, felt, and thread in to a crinkly toy for your little bub (or um, grown-up friend):

This is really easy to put together and I like the fact there is a little bit of recycling thrown in as well You could insert add a bell or squeaker instead of the plastic wrapper. And if you are not in to owls, then you could pretty much draw up whatever you wanted and turn that into a crinkly toy!

The free instructions and template are in downloadable pdf format and are easy to follow. The duck’s body can be made from any fabric and I think it would look especially cute in sherpa fleece or a fuzzy chenille.

Not only has she posted up the pattern, but she has also posted a fantastic little video tutorial:
This is another great softie for beginner softie-makers. These owls would make really cute brooches or bag tags, don’t you think?
