Supplies:

• two thermal receiving blankets, one pink and one blue
• one each: an infant boy's bonnet and an infant girl's bonnet
• two bibs, one pink and one blue
• two pairs of booties, one for boys and one for girls

Directions:

1. Take the receiving blanket hold the long rectangular way, roll each long side to the middle, till the two sides meet.
2. Folded 3/4 halfway with the rolls on the inside.
3. While holding in your hand, using a fist full of craft stuffing (fiberfill) stuff inside the top of the inside roll, to make the head, gently tie a ribbon around under the head to make the head.

5. Take the bottom two rolled ends and do the same, separate and tie off with a ribbon to make feet.
6. Put the bonnet over the head, put the bib around the neck, and the booties on each foot.
7. Hand embroider half moon blue eyes, a tiny knot for a nose and a pink embroidered mouth.

These sit in a basket, make wonderful gift toppers, and then beautiful decorations for baby's nursery.
