The Monster Mash



Make your partner a little monster stuffie but do not stuff it. This will keep postage costs down.

Make your monster no more than about 6-7" (15-17.5 cm) tall.

Don't worry about your sewing skills - even beginners can do this!

I have found some easy tutorials for you to choose from, or you can find (or design) design your own. Just about any shape can be turned into a cute little monster.

Monster 1

Monster 2

Monster 3

Faces can be sewn, embroidered, drawn, painted, etc. Buttons, googly eyes, circles of felt, etc. can be glued on for eyes.

Finish your little monster except for the stuffing and final stitching up of the seam.

When you receive your stuffie monster, you can finish him (or her) yourself.

Not interested in owning a little monster? Don't know any little kids who might be thrilled to own one? Then check out The Secret Toy Society. Maybe some little child in your city would love to find one. If you do this, please include a note telling the child where in the world the monster they have found was made. (";)

Have fun!

P.S. Whoever is assigned as my partner will also receive some "monster" stickers. (";)

Can this be knit or crochet instead of sewn? Have some fun patterns for that!

Yes, as long as your receiving partner will be able to stuff and finish it - you should check with them first. Or as long as you don't mind paying the extra postage to mail it stuffed and finished.
