Make your own: Halloween plush kicking toy

What you’ll need:

• Black and Grey Crafting Felt
• Sewing Thread and Needle (or sewing machine)
• Stuffing Material
• Scissors
• A4 Paper
• Pencil

What to do:

• On your paper, draw a basic outline of your chosen weapon. Choose a weapon that has a simple shape with a clear difference between the handle and blade.
• Cut out your drawn weapon into two, one for the handle and one for the blade. You now have your weapon templates.
  Pin your weapon template to your black felt and cut out two of the handle parts of your toy.
• Pin your weapon template to your grey felt and cut out the blade parts of your toy, extending the area that meets the handle by 1cm so you can attach the handle and blade to each other.
• Overlap your handle parts to your blade parts by 1cm and pin them together.
• Sew your blade and handles together using black thread and a needle (or sewing machine).
• Pin your two felt weapons together, with the correct sides facing outwards.
• Sew your two felt pieces together and leave a small section of the toy unsewn so you can insert some stuffing material.
• Use your stuffing material to fill out your toy. You can use your pencil to help push the stuffing all the way in.
• Sew closed the open space you left on your plush weapon to keep the stuffing inside.
• Trim any loose or extra pieces of thread off and your plush weapon toy is complete.
