Black Felt Cat

 

 I found this project in Creepy Crafty Halloween

{http://theholidayhohoqueen.blogspot.com/2009/10/good-place-to-start-is-with-book.html

It's the Black Cat that goes with the doll.

I'm not very talented with a needle,

and this was a perfect practice project.

I just used what I had on hand:

Black Felt

Black Upholstery thread

Copper Metallic thread

GLiTTeR ~ Carnelian {marthastewart collection}

Elmers glue

Scissors

Sewing Needles

 

I would have much preferred to outline the felt and then cut, 
but due to a lack of any kind of chalk ANYwhere in my House! 
I pinned and cut around.

Use the Copper Metallic thread to stitch on a face,

 

Using the Upholstery thread, I sewed the pieces together,

 flipped right side out, and stuffed.

Use a dull pencil or chopstick to get the very tips of the Ears and Tail.

 After stuffing, turn the bottom edges in,

and loop stitch shut.

I made a bow tie with Elmers,

poured on the GLiTTeR,

and 

Viola!

You could use them:
* as a Trick or Treat treat for a special one
* Halloween tree decor
*Autumn sachet filled with Spices
