Russian Doll Taggie 2.0

So, ages ago (omg, a year ago, really?!) I made a russian doll taggie toy, you wouldn't know about it because, it seems, I completely forgot to blog it! (duh) but it is on craftster.

Well, that taggie turned out to be useless, too big and heavy for little hands, so I've made a newer, better, faster, stronger one ( :-) ). It's pink and green, I'm loving that colour combo at the moment, what a difference a year makes eh?

Crinkle Taggie Baby Soother - Tutorial

ok then, remember these noisy toys?



In a previous post I showed you how to insert the jingle bells into the taggie plush :-) Now I'm going to show you how to make the Crinkle Taggie Soother.

The Internet has told me that babies love things that crinkle, and things with ribbon loops/tags, and this is my response! err... unfortunately I have no way of verifying this information at this point since my lazy baby still isn't here! and even when (s)he does arrive, I hear tell that they don't do much except cry, sleep, feed and wee for the first few days.

Anyhow, click here for the printable -step by step tutorial - for how to make a Crinkle Taggie Baby Soother!!
