Making an Eye Patch for a Damaged Stuffed Animal

Supplies:

• cardboard (for template)
• black felt
• black embroidery floss
• sewing needle
• scissors

Steps:

1. If necessary, sew the eye hole shut with embroidery floss. (I made an "x" where his eye used to be, like they do in cartoons.)

 

 
2. Create a template using a thin cardboard. Cut it out.

 
3. Use the template to cut out 2 felt shapes. Sew them together with embroidery floss, using a backstitch.

 

 
4. Attach the eye patch to the stuffed animals. I used small stitches around the outside of the patch, to hold it securely. Then I used long stitches in the corners, to give it the appearance of having a strap.
