As a suggested Mother's Day project, CraftSoc held a meeting to make heart danglers. You would sew together a series of stuffed felt hearts, with or without lavender for scent, and then attach to a length of ribbon. You could then hang this length on wherever you like.

One-Star Dragon Ball plushie
Making round ball plushies is fairly easy to do, and you can easily adapt the template to other objects. As my boyfriend is a Dragon Ball nut, I made him a One-Star Dragon Ball! First I cut out a paper template of an eye-shaped oval, and cut out six pieces of this template in orange …

I left my felt and sewing tools back at home (ie. I didn't take them with me to uni) so I was not able to work on any plush-related crafts during my time away. I did promise a felt heart for my boyfriend on Valentine's, and I finally got around to finishing it not too …
