DIY Yoda Rattle

I've been making baby toys for my new little one that's on the way. So I decided to make a couple quick tutorials for anyone looking for some great baby gift ideas. First up is a Yoda rattle.









You'll need:
light green felt
black felt
white felt
embroidery floss
embroidery needles
scissors
stuffing
and a bell

Start by cutting out two oval shapes from your green felt.

Next cut out two openings for the handle/mouth.

Next cut out some small ovals out of your white felt and some small circles out of your black felt for the eyes.

Pin and sew into place using a basic whip stitch.











Next using the back stitch, sew lines for his wrinkled forehead.












Next pin the front and back together and sew only around the mouth using the back stitch. You could also possibly use the whip stitch for this part.









Next cut out two large elf-shaped ears from your green felt. Pin your ears in place and begin to sew using your back stitch still

Leave a large gap opening at the bottom and begin stuffing.


Don't forget to add your bell!








Stuff as you sew around the handle to make sure you get a good fluff.
