Angry Birds

My boys love Angry Birds.  I thought I would make something fun for them for Christmas.  Then I was asked to do a local Bazaar.  I thought they would make a great gift for a cute little guy or gal.  So I decided to get a jump on it.  Here is my take on Angry birds the bean bag toss.

The birds are all 2 dimensional and the piggies are 3 dimensional. 

Step 1: First I ironed Pellon to one side of the felt.

2: I cut the birdies from the templates below.  And stitched around the edges. Leaving a small hole for the poly fill pellets. 

3: Then put them back through the machine to close them. 

4: I then cut out the eyes, beaks and brows by hand. 

5:Then glued eyes, beaks and brows with my trusty glue gun. 

The piggies were a little more work.  I wanted them to be able to sit on the blocks.  I sewed 3 small circles together so that they would have a bottom gusset to sit on.  Then hand stitched the eyes, nose and mouth onto the fronts. I think next tiem I am going to make the piggies out of wooden doll heads. Paint them green and free hand the eyes and mouths. 
Update for Piggies

Add a set of block and some special little guy or gal will be busy all afternoon building and tossing birds. 

I thought this would be a great birthday or Christmas gift!
