Angry Crafts

I am not well versed in felt, but once I saw this Angry Bird plush pattern as shared by Eileen, I knew I had to give it a shot. For those of you not in the know, Angry Birds is an iphone/ipad app where you launch tiny angry birds across the screen to hit the evil pigs who stole your eggs. It’s exceedingly popular and oppressively addicting.

At my earliest convenience, I zipped over to Michael’s Craft Store (my obvious craft store of coincidental convenience choice) and purchased some embroidery floss, felt squares, and filler.

Overall? Not too tricky. I had never made a 3-D felt thing, but the directions explain the process fairly well.

Not quite angry yet.

I ultimately made two, one for Jobonga + Margot and the second for Vivienne.

Getting Angrier!

I had some trouble closing up the bottom and top of the first Angry Bird, but by the second I was getting the hang of it.

Angry!

It was a fun project! I’m excited to report that I will now feel more confidence with future 3D plush felt crafts.

Here’s a picture of Margot enjoying the Angry Bird!

Get him Margot!

      Thanks!

      And if your glitter flats came out anything like those on WeAreNotMartha, than I applaud you.

        I made wedges instead of flats and they are awesome! I’ll email a pic.

      Sander had a great idea.

      Glitter shoes with rainbow sprinkles instead of glitter.

      I love this idea.
