Several months ago, I made this sweet set of mouse ears for my buddy, Herbie. He’s dressed as the door mouse from Alice in Wonderland! 🙂

When he dropped off the materials to make the ears, he left me with yards of grey felt…waaaaay more than I really needed.
Fast forward to today, when my landlord did his annual walk-through of our house. He noticed that my front door was a little drafty. I knew EXACTLY what I was going to do!
I grabbed my big stash of grey felt, as well a few other scrappies. 🙂

I cut out two 42″ x 13″ rectangles from the grey felt.

Then I folded them in half and drew a shape with my fabric marker.

I cut my shape out, and unfolded it.

Then, I sewed the two sides together, except for the very bottom center.

I turned the whole thing inside out and bugged Fella for a bit with my temporary puppet!

Time to add a face to this mysterious little guy!


I stuffed my plushy new pal…

…and now I have an adorable way to keep chilly drafts away from my door this winter!

Cheers!
Adorable!
Very cute! 🙂
I love this! It’s just too cute.
OMG genius! Sooo cute and creative!
This is sooo cute and timely too..
Cute as can be!
Hilarious – I think my dogs would probably love playing with it 🙂
Very cute!!! I just may have to steal that idea – my sister’s house is very drafty and she could totally use one of these!
What a CUTE idea!! I LOVE IT! Thanks for entertaining my lazy mornings with your creativity!
I TOTALLY love that!! Great job Jillian!
Ooooohhhhhh, look at that button stash. Let’s see you use more of those in your refashions!
If you fill it with beans (I used soybeans for mine), it keeps the drafts out and stays in place even better!
