| TerryGami, 15 Cloth Toy and Ornament Projects for Crafters, Teachers, and Children |
The book is available at:
Check this out from "Craft Magazine": How to make a Storage Garland for Softies. This would be perfect for the TerryGami critters, both holiday and otherwise. The garland can even be made out of terrycloth, and the kids could make it themselves. Perhaps instead of strips of washcloths, strips of cheap, thin, colorful towels could be used to make the work go faster.
Colorful, plastic clothespins could be used or the kids could paint the wooden ones to match the color of their rooms. This could make the whole summer fun -- make TerryGami critters and a terrycloth garland to hang them on. One thing though, for the critters, I would put a loop of yarn, ribbon or string in the top of the head, rather than make a clothespin dent in their heads. If you hang them by an ear, they may end up with a cauliflower ear! Tie the yarn off in a knot as you would if you were making a hanger to hang on a tree. The loop wouldn't need very be large. There could also be Halloween garlands (make black, orange, yellow and purple bats) and Christmas garlands.
I'll get crackin' on the second book so there will be animals and other kinds of washcloth critters to choose from.
Happy Crafting!
