How to make

You will also need:

Washed and Dried Cereal Bag (for crinkle – this is food grade plastic!)

Step 1

Wash and Iron your fabrics. Using a rotary cutter, ruler and cutting mat, cut two 8″ x 8″ squares.

Step 2

Fold the cereal bag in half and cut one 8″ x 8″ squares.

Step 3

Take one of the fabric squares and one cereal bag piece and pin together, tack stitch these together to secure. This can be done using a large stitch on a machine or by hand, I chose to do this by machine and used a 5mm seam allowance. Trim down any excess cereal bag around the edge.

Step 4

Take your selection of ribbons, I've used a selection of different thicknesses and textures. Fold a piece a ribbon over and cut. Pin this to the edge of the fabric.

Step 5

Repeat until you have filled the edges with ribbon.

Step 6

Take a second fabric square and place on top, right sides together.

Step 7

Sew around the edges, catching all of the ribbons and leaving a gap to that you can turn through.

Step 8

Trim the corners and turn through.

Step 9

Press well and topstitch around the square, catching any ribbons that were not stitched due to the gap.

Step 10

Repeat all of the above steps to create a second tag toy if you would like to. (It's always good to have a spare!)

Rated 4 out of 5 by New Nanny from Effective baby toy. I thought it would be difficult to get the 'crinkle' sheet, but the instructions say to use a cereal wrapper. Brilliant way to use up odd lengths of ribbon. I decided to cut the ribbons at an angle instead of having loops as I did not want little fingers caught in the loops.
