I love this page. This was the first hard page that I did and part way through I started to wonder what did I get myself into. It really wasn't that hard but I got worried about how it would turn out because I had such high hopes. Well is was all for not because it turned out way cute I think and I've played with it with my sunbeams and they loved it. I found a lot of different animal patterns while looking and I couldn't make up my mind while planning so I prepped both. I decided to go with the one that had the most animals. I chose this because I love the whale and the snake and the dinosaur and all the variety. I thought all that variety would be the most fun to switch around. But it was a lot of work and they ended up being pretty small. I explained all this to my friend when she was starting this page and she decided to do the set with fewer animals. I love the way hers turned out and she loves the way mine turned out. The grass will always be greener... The choice is yours.
- Trace the bodies on to the pages.
- Color the bodies keeping in mind the animals, it's easy to get mixed up without the heads.
- Sew the velcro in the middle of the dotted lined circles.
- Trace the animal heads onto the spare fabric.
- Color the heads.
- Cut heads out
- Pin the heads to another piece of the spare fabric and cut out another head.
- Sew the other half of the velcro onto the back of the uncolored animal head.
- Next you need to attach the two head pieces. I sewed mine together with black thread keeping the stitches on top of the tracing around the head. My friends used wonder under to attach them. I think the wonder under is faster and easier. It's up to you.
- Lastly, put some words down. I chose a simple "Mix 'n' Match" on both pages.
