Felt/Fleece Reindeer

A few years ago a well known cosmetics company sold a Christmas gift in packaging made of a fleecey reindeer.... I found the fleecey reindeer yesterday and Im debating having a stab at making one my self??
Do you think this would look very naff or be an alternative way togift something???
Love is the answer. At least for most of the questions in my heart,
Like why are we here? And where do we go?And how come it's so hard?

    Sorry its a bit big the picture - but yeah you can see its roughly the same size as 30cm ruler

    so if i just made a template for the what you can see and then flip it either down or to the side and sew up leaving the top of the head unsown...
    two buttons and a pompom for a nose??
    Could make smaller maybe???

    Like i said I didnt make this I was bought it but wondering if it would be easy to reproduce before anyone says eee you didnt make that lol

    That sounds a great idea to me. When cutting out don't forget your seam allowance if you do want it the same size as the one you have. Once you have a paper pattern you can reduce the size on a copier if you want to vary the size.

  • I think its a fab idea and would look really good.
    Remember and clip your curves so that the antlers turn out properly and a nice shape. You could also use sew on googly eyes if you want it to look a bit different rather than buttons. I might steal this idea if its ok with you. I think its really cute!!

    hi
    Sorry havent been on for a while
    No the antlers are just antlers really.
    Basically the face bit has a space in it (it came with a couple of bath products in there if memory serves)
    A pillow would be lovely :)

    Yes feel free to steal :)
