Finished Monster Backpacks

            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. 




Hope you enjoyed this and I'll post again soon :)

Monster Backpack

This is a cute little back pack I made to look like a monster. I just used some white felt and googly eyes.


What you'll need:




*Some Glue that works on both fabric and plastic




*"Wiggly Eyes"





*Sewing Supplies 


Open the front pocket and sew with the white all the way around the teeth. just a simple up and down stitch will do the trick. 

Zip the pocket closed and then move the eyes around until you find a position you like. Follow the directions on the glue, but most will say to apply it to both materials and then press them together.
