Here is a super quick and easy pattern and project for a Valentines Day frog to love.
You will need a few supplies and can follow these directions or make up your own to suit your style. The pattern is simple and friendly. This is what I recommend:
- Felt (Green, Red and Black)
- Embroidery Floss (Green and Black) – My fave is Coats and Clark brand!
- 2 Black Beauty Buttons and Candy Apple Green for Feet if Desired
- Phoomph for Fabric and/or Tacky Glue
- Scissors and Needle
- Printed Pattern (Free Download PDF HERE)
Here is how I made it:
Use the patternto cut out the body and eyes from green felt. The body should be cut on the fold of the felt and the eyes are only 1 piece. Pin the eyes to the top inside of the frog body as shown. Stitch the frog body closed with green embroidery floss, leaving and opening to stuff if with filling. Then finish sewing closed. Use the pattern to cut out the white part of the eyes from Phoomph and white felt then adhere them to the frog prince and glue on the buttons. Using black embroidery floss, stitch a mouth. Cut a heart from red felt to make his kissy lips. Cut out four legs and attach them with either tacky glue or stitching.
Whoever said you had to kiss a lot of frogs to find a prince clearly did not know that you could just make one.
Happy Stitching, Glueing and Buttoning Up Some Valentines Day Fun,
Laura
