Monsters Under the Bed!!

I thought this would be a fun easy swap! My friend and I make Felt "Monsters" we sew fabric patches onto them or buttons, or beads, or pretty much whatever is around that matches our felt colors we've picked out.

You can make them look "scary" or like aliens. Use your imagination!! Felt monsters are anywhere from 10 to 12 inches tall but you can make them as big as you want (keep in mind shipping/postage cost). I've made bigger ones that are about as big as a medium sized teddy bear.

There is a lot of room for fun and creativity like: clothes for your monsters, if you make your own polymer clay buttons you could sew those on, safety pins, different color thread than felt for a pop of color, embroidered designs on the body, etc.

The example shown is a very simple basic idea of what the doll should/could look like! Name your monster (birth certificates are nice. It gives your partner something to keep to remember that you made them this special monster and that you're the mommy!)

For hearts send something like extra felt, buttons, etc. However just the doll is required when sending off your felt friend.

Newbies are welcome to join however you must have a filled out profile with more than just a couple of sentences in each category.

NO no-send's in the past 3 months and you must have a rating of 4.8 or higher. I will be checking and I will ban anyone who looks "iffy". Contact me with any questions or if you feel you may be an exception to what was listed above. I will Angel but no one likes a flaker! Please join only with full intentions of sending!

Send quality and send on time...so that everyone is happy and everyone gets a monster that makes them smile!

Thanks and have fun swapping!!!!
