Mario character-style strap

[Easy!] Mario-style Character Strap Made with Felt / 100-Yen Shop DIY / Felt

These are straps inspired by Mario characters—a game beloved by kids and adults alike.

First, prepare two pieces of felt cut into the shape of the character you want to make.

Layer the two pieces and sew around the edges using a blanket stitch.

At this point, be sure to sew in the loop where the strap hardware will go.

Once you’ve sewn most of the way around, leave a small opening, add stuffing, then sew it closed.

For details like Mario’s eyes and mustache or the green spots on Yoshi’s egg, prepare felt in the appropriate colors and shapes, and glue them onto the finished base with craft adhesive.

Finally, attach the strap hardware, and you’re done!

amigurumi

[Crochet] How to make a Teru Teru Bozu

Amigurumi are stuffed toys made with crochet.

Crochet might seem difficult, but basically you crochet a round shape using single crochet stitches, increasing and decreasing as needed.

Once you learn the single crochet, it’s not hard as long as you follow the instructions.

After you’ve crocheted the round head of the teru teru bozu, stuff it with fiberfill and close it.

Crochet the lower part as well, sew the two pieces together, add the eyes, and it’s done! Attach a strap or keychain hardware and you can clip it to a bag, so it’s highly recommended.
