Baby giraffe in felt for Party Decorations 2022/04/26

Among the most sweet parties that can be organized are Baby Showers, these are the parties to welcome the new member or members of the family and a cute giraffe will be without doubt a beautiful theme to set and decorate your party.

Material:

• Felt in pastel shades: beige, pink, yellow, brown
• Threads in the same shades
• Wadding for the filling
• Amigurumi safety eyes of 6 mm in diameter
• UHU type glue or hot silicon
• Scissors and needle
• Several accessories like: can for the candy, tissue paper, balloons, etc.

We download and print the pattern. Place it over a cardboard and outline with a pen the silhouettes, then define these marks with a pen, cut out each of these pieces. These will be the patterns to use and will be very necessary.

Use the cardboard patterns to cut out the felt pieces, this method gives you better precision in eat cut. Cut out each piece in its corresponding color.

We start by assembling the giraffe’s head, sew the pieces together using just one thread and the embroidery scallop stitch, sew the mouth and then place the eyes with the help of the pattern.

We cut out the safety eyes tips and fill in the space between the screws (eyes) and the security cap with hot silicon, at the end cover this area with a piece of felt.

Embroider the nose, now we can sew the two pieces of the head together. As the ears, horns and spots are very small, you can paste with UHU type glue or embroider if you prefer it.

We continue with the body. First we join the hooves embroidering them to the legs with brown thread and then both body pieces in between with beige thread. Start sewing on the sides to fill in with wadding more comfortably in that place, help yourself with a pencil to insert delicately the filling, do not put too much wadding to avoid the seams from opening.

We repeat the same procedures for the giraffe’s back legs.

Now we join the head and the back legs to the body. I have used hot silicon in this step obtaining a more solid and firm junction (unlike having sewn these parts together), paste the spots with UHU like glue or hot silicon.
