Character Wall Decorations

On an impulse, I bought a giant stack of construction paper (about $40s worth). My dorm room is very white. Very. White. I can fix that! I decided to make a huge paper mural made up of a collection of my favorite characters. These are the ones I have created thus far...


Domo


Tigger


Minion (Stuart) + Homemade Unicorn Toy 


Mushu


The House from Up!

Crochet Hobbes Stuffed Animal


I remember when I picked up my first Calvin and Hobbes book in 4th grade. It is one one my sweetest childhood memories and I have so much respect for Bill Watterson for his desire to maintain the integrity of his work. On the other hand, I've always wanted a Hobbes stuffed animal and Watterson never licensed his characters for merchandising (including dolls and toys).
I decided to make a Hobbes doll an ongoing nap time project over the summer. It was my first stuffed animal and I'm actually quite proud of how it turned out!

Crochet Minion and Turtle


Stuart from Despicable Me



A Little Turtle

Turkey Pencil Holder


Angry Birds Hat

With this hat, you can have eyes on the back of your head. Angry eyes.

Silly Paper Robot

This was truly and out-of-boredom creation. Over the summer, I worked with 3-5 year olds which gave me a lot of nap time freedom. This was the result.

Chicken Nugget Scarf

This was my first ever loom knit scarf. The ends were pretty rough, so I crocheted 12 little tan circles and sewed  them onto the edges. I am not particularly fond of this scarf, but I do like the colors and how much the circles look like chicken nuggets. The scarf is actually beautiful and fluffy so I may make another one.
