Directions

1. STEP 1: Getting Ready

   Prepare your work area by assembling all the craft items you'll need for making your pillow creation, then print out the Moose No-Sew Pillow Template.

2. STEP 2: Cutting Out the Pieces

   A grown-up should cut out the template pieces and use them to cut out the pillow pieces from sheets of felt or fleece. For Moose's antlers, use stiff brown felt. TIPS FOR PARENTS: Either fleece or felt can be used to make these pillows, but felt works best, especially for the face details. Grown-ups should cut out the pieces, while your preschool helper assembles the face details using the full-color final pillow template as a guide.

3. STEP 3: Creating the Faces

   Help your child apply the face details to the front pillow panel. A grown-up should apply the glue to and place the face pieces on the body panel. Apply light pressure to ensure the pieces stay in place. Fabri-Tac and similar products are quick-drying. For Moose's eye reflections, either draw them with white fabric paint or cut out two tiny circles from white felt.

4. STEP 4: Assembling the Pillows

   Once the eyes and mouth have been glued down, glue together the arms, legs, nose, and the bottom of Moose's body. Use several beads of glue between the front and back panel edges and press the edges together until the glue takes (about a minute). Once the bottom of the body has dried, begin stuffing with batting and continue gluing the sides together. Try not to over-stuff the pillow, as this will make it difficult to glue the sides together. Keep gluing and pressing all the edges until the pillow is sealed on all sides. At last, glue on Moose's antlers.
