CraftSanity V.P. of Fun Celebrates 5th Birthday in Crafty Style
Today we’re celebrating Abby’s birthday with some handmade goodness including an embellished felt birthday crown, stuffed felt birthday banner and bunny softie with felt attire. Yep, we’re definitely on a felt kick here at the CraftSanity headquarters.
I’m addicted to making stuffed letters now and planning several more projects. These are super easy to make. Here’s the quick version of the instructions. Draw out your letters on paper. Then pin your paper pattern to a double layer of felt. Cut out your letters and blanket stitch around the edge, stuffing as you go. Sew loops to the back for hanging or simply thread onto a sturdy piece of yarn and it’s ready to hang. The banner really brightens the room and was completely worth every moment I spent stitching it.
Abby is out riding her new bike again. This time she took Lulu, the handmade bunny for a ride in the basket. So I better grab the camera and get out there. Happy birthday to Abby and cheers to you, dear reader!

Love all of it! Happy Birthday to your little one. We just did a surprise party for my eight-year old on Monday. Lots of fun and she got her first real sewing machine!

Jennifer, so glad for you that you were able to complete your birthday projects on time. They look really nice. Your daughter is probably a happy little girl. Congrats to you for all the late night crafting and hard work. Hope you were able to enjoy her birthday too.

I love the stuffed letters. I’ve made smaller ones stitched around magnets. They are on the fridge and I think better than those plastic ones.
