Now I came across an amazing little trick recently, on my wanders around Pinterest (might be a bit of an obsession).
The crinkle in kids toys can be made using the bag that cereal comes in. Amazing!! Well it can be made using anything that crinkles...biscuits packets, crisps packets etc. But cereal bags are the best because there white.

What a horrible face small is pulling!?!? and in her Christmas PJs.
You will need....
Some lovely feeling fabric for the face
Something shinny for the mane
Felt for the face
Toy stuffing
Crinkly plastic
Cotton
**please remember who this is for so don't cover in buttons, leave loose bits etc.**
One
Print and cut out your template. Cut out the faces once and eyes, nose and whisker spots. Cut 2 squares of the mane fabric and 1 of the crinkle slightly larger than the whole of the lion face.
I love making things for children because you don't need to get the colours right....blue mane here we come.
Two
Sew on the face features, either by machine or by hand or as I have done half and half.
Three
Stitch around the mane with the fabrics right side together and the crinkle on top. Leave a gap so you can turn it out.
Cut off the excess fabric and slit in every dip to make it turn smother, do not cut the stitching. Turn it out and press using a bit of fabric between it and the iron. Stitch close the gap.
Four
Stitch around the face on the mane front leave a gap so it can be stuffed. Stuff it and close up.
And it's all finished one nice easy little tutorial.
Although this lovely makes a lovely lion you can draw whatever animal or shape you want and make it. Isn't that lovely.
