It's finally done!
I'm sure you all have seen those cute and cuddly pillow pets in stores. I have too, and I really wanted to get one for Wade... but 20 bucks for a pillow? No thank you. So I decided to make my own. Best of all, I got to pick whatever I wanted. So what better than Wade's latest obsession...Blue's Clues!
It actually looks like Blue! I've obviously made a few changes to what you see in stores, but not too shabby for a homemade version. It's all made out of fleece, with the spots out of minkee. My favorite part... I put a zipper in the back of the pillow case so the pillow can be removed and you can wash the rest!
Here he is all folded up...
And a view of the bottom.
Now I just have to wait patiently until Christmas to give it to him and hope he likes it!
I can't believe how cute that turned out!! Not that I doubted your abilities, but I have no idea how you make something off the top of your head like that. You should add this to your Etsy shop items!
ReplyDeleteVery cute Hayley! Good job.
ReplyDeleteYour pillow pet turned out so cute, I just might have to hire you to make me a whole flock of them for the grandkids (which they would, of course, keep at my house so they could "cute-up" my craft/playroom.) What will you think of next?
ReplyDeleteWhat up with my feed reader that I get these posts a day later than everyone else?! Anyway, I LOVE IT! Who knew you'd turn out to be so dang crafty?! I remember when you'd roll your eyes at the thought of even entering a craft store. Lucky boy!
ReplyDeleteOMG! Are you selling this on Etsy??? I need a link! My son would LOVE this!
ReplyDeleteSelling?? Would love to buy if willing to make more! =)) Thanks. God bless you
ReplyDeleteAre you selling these? Because I have been searching for a blues clues pillowpet for my almost 2yr old son for his bday!
ReplyDeleteHow did you actually make it? Is there any chance you could show me step by step? I want to make something like this for my daughter's birthday.
ReplyDeleteDang it! Yours is way better than the Nick one for sale. I didn't really want to have to make one, but now....
ReplyDeleteHi there! I wanted to get back to you and let you know that it may have taken me a year, but I finally made one of these for my daughter for Christmas. She is 3 now and still has her passion for Blue's Clues. So here's my completed project: http://www.pinterest.com/pin/137008013640260229/
