A Monster Mash?
I began by creating a template {in purple} and cutting monster parts out of felt material. 
Then I traced the template onto my green flannel and cut out two sides {monster front and back}. 
I pinned my monster parts onto one of the sides.
And began sewing my parts on. Sewing circles? Go slowly as you guide your fabric through your sewing machine. For the smaller circles I stopped sewing with my needle through the fabric, lifted my sewing foot thingy {sorry I don't know what it's called lol}, turned my fabric, put the foot thingy down and continued sewing.
When I finished sewing my monster parts onto one side, I pinned the right sides of my front and back together. I sewed my sides together, about 1/4 cm from the edge, leaving a 1" hole open. I turned my doll inside out, filled with stuffing and hand sewed the 1" hole closed {sorry I forgot to take pictures of this!}
A Monster Lineup!
Keep your peeps peeled for more Monster Party goodies! Coming soon....
I hope that you likey!

I looove these monsters dolls, making felt creatures is so damn fun. Monsters are so fun because you can go crazy with design and sometimes "mistakes" make the monster look better!

These are so cute! (um I mean, cool- boys don't like 'cute' things so my 10 year old says!) I've seen them done with all felt, but the flannel has got to be easier to work with, thanks for the tutorial!
BTW the 'foot thingy' is called a presser foot
Super cute!!! Great idea for party favors! So much better than dollar store junk!
