Felt Kitty with a Book and Wee Witch Spoolie

Still making Hallowe'en over here! I'm actually trying to cram in all of the quicker projects I want to make before tackling costumes for the smallish people. One of the things I finished was a bitty accordion book using a Matchbox Ticket Journal, but it looked odd all by itself and really needed something more. It fit nicely inside a small Altoid tin, and of course it would've worked with a matchbox, but I remembered the black felt that Leslie from Alpha Stamps had sent (okay, that's a lie. I completely forgot about it until she courteously reminded me in a very pleasant email). 

I used the felt to sew a sweet Hallowe'en cat with a lace trimmed dress and bow. The accordion book was tucked in the pocket. 

She likes her new book.

The kitty didn't take too long so I also managed to finish a Wee Witch on a spool. She has a crepe paper dress, striped stockings, and carries her pumpkin pail. The 31 was glued onto a button and attached to the spool. I used the felt scraps from the cat to make a friend for the witch.

Oh, that bat's face. Hahaha!

Want to make your own fuzzy felt bat? Grab some felt scraps, a small bead, a bit of wire, and glue. Cut out a rectangle for the body and some wings. I just scissored out a wing-like shape. Bend the end of the wire over so it fits snugly inside the bead.

Cover the rectangle with glue and roll it around the wire to form the body of the bat.

Glue on the wings.

Give him a derpy little face and two triangle ears. Done! Maybe I will make an entire colony and add them to the next project.

HERE is where you can go to see the supplies used for Felt Kitty and HERE is where you'll find the list for the Witch Spoolie. Happy crafting!
