Crinkle Crinkle Little Starfish

And yet another baby stash gift!  I stumbled across these super cute baby starfish that crinkle!  I found the pattern over at American Felt and Craft Blog.  I enlarged the pattern a little.  I also purchased the crinkle material from them as well.  I have seen people use other household items in order to make toys crinkle, but this stuff can go in the dryer and is super crinkly!

I traced my pattern onto freezer paper and ironed onto my wool felt.

I then did a bunch of random french knots over the front of the starfish.  I usually wrapped the knot 3-4 times to get some good bumps on the surface.  Then embroidered some eyes and a mouth.

I cut a piece of crinkle material little larger than my starfish.  This is where I deviated from the original tutorial. 

I sandwiched the crinkle material in between the 2 felt pieces and pinned. I sewed around the starfish and used fabric scissors to trim my seam.

Keep all the crinkle material scraps. Can use to stuff another baby toy project.
