Materials

• Pull-down-style window shade
• Blue Window Shade template
• Scissors
• Ballpoint pen
• Light-blue felt
• Dark-blue felt
• White felt
• Pink (or red) felt
• Craft glue
• Blue rickrack (optional)

Directions

1. Step 1

   Remove the shade from the window and unroll it onto the floor or a table.

2. Step 2

   Print the template and enlarge it on a copy machine to the size you desire.

3. Step 3

   Cut out the picture of Blue and trace around it with a pen onto the light-blue felt. Cut out the felt and glue it to the shade in the desired position, being careful to glue the edges down firmly.

4. Step 4

   Use the template as a reference for cutting out the dark-blue spots, dark-blue nose, pink tongue, and white-felt eyes. Glue these to the light-blue felt. Cut small dark-blue circles for Blue's pupils and glue these onto Blue's eyes. Allow the glue to dry overnight.

5. Step 5

   For a finishing touch, add a blue rickrack to the bottom of the shade.
