Suitcase teddies


I saw these cute little make it yourself kits at the craft store, I didn't have the money to buy it, but I still made it myself!!!!
I made it out of: 
Craft tape 
Candy tin 
Scrap of scrapbook paper 
Glue stick and hot glue
Felt and fleece 
Sharpies 
Needle and thread 
Large paper clip
I started by covering the tin in craft tape.
(If the tin has a label on the front you may want to glue a piece of white paper over it.)
  After I did that I made a handle out of a bent paper clip and a small piece of brawn paper, I just wrapped the paper around the bent paper clip and then glued it on the tin.
To make the mouse and her teddy bear I used these patterns to cut out the felt, I cut out 2 pieces of white felt for the mouse and 1 piece of pink for the teddy bear, then I used sharpie to give them faces and clothes and tails.
In this pic there is a side view of the two of them, for the mouse I used a whip stitch and lightly stuffed it, for the teddy bear I only used one piece of felt so I did not need to sew anything.
Then I cut a piece of paper to go on the inside of the tin lid, and a piece of felt to go on the inside of the tin, after that I cut some fleece to be bedding.
 And now it's done!!!!!!!!
