Here are the two finished back packs, except that the green one is still missing eyes. This is a very simple step so I consider them pretty much finished at this point. Attaching the teeth is the longest and hardest part, but even that is easy enough that a novice such as my self could do it. The felt is a key component to the ease of this project, because felt does not frey. This means that as long as you attach the teeth securely to the project you are good to go. This is unlike any other fabric, which you would have to put a seam on the prevent deterieration.
The backpacks are already in use and both his cousins seem to like them. They used them on the first day of school. Each of the monsters are their favorite colors :)
Below I included some images of what it looked like while I was sewing on the teeth, incase someone was interested in exactly how I sewed them. I opened the zipper and just sewed along in a line along the shaoe of the teeth.
