I'm still having fun playing with my chenille dolls....I think this one is a bear actually. It started with a very plain kit that just provided the chenille pipecleanmer, eyes, nose and instructions. The instructions are in Japanese so I just sort of followed the diagrams. You can use an app on your phone for a translation if you need to. To me, the fun part of making these chenille creatures is dressing them up. I chose a striped pink T-shirt that I purchased from HM Ben Franklin Crafts. For added fun, I glued on purple sunglasses and a lemon ice cream cone.
The little chenille figures look super cute with other decorations like the Easter chick I found at Daiso.
I have a little HM Ben Franklin bucket on my desk which I use to hold pens and tubes of gliter sprinkles. Well, the mischevious little bear decided that the bucket was the perfect place to sit, relax and eat his ice cream! The plastic mini ice cream cones and sunglasses came from packages of buttons. You could cut off the shanks, but I just glued them onto the bear with E6000 glue. HM Ben Franklin Crafts has a gigantic amount of Moru doll kits, costumes, and embellishments. You should check out this fun craft and you'll soon be making adorable chenille animals for yourself and your friends!
