A keyring

This soft keyring will amaze everybody.

Material and tools:
- a sheet of felt in blue, yellow and orange shades
- some bits and pieces of colourful cloth
- a keyring
- a little colourful button
- a sewing machine or a thicker cotton thread

1 Draw a little bird the size you want, on a piece of paper and then cut it out. Fold the sheet of felt. Copy the drawing, and then cut it out. Draw wings separately. Leave the edge for the hem.

2 Cut out yellow felt according to the pattern of the wings and place a piece of cloth in contrasting colour below it.

3 Cut out a rectangle as a ribbon for the ring and add a beak made of thicker orange felt.

4 Sew the first wing under the bird's body. Fold the ribbon for hanging, insert the ring and with a pin fix the place you will sew. Do the same with the beak. Join the two bodies leaving a few centimeters free (to be stuffed later).

5 Stuff the bird with cotton wool and hand sew the rest.

6 Sew little buttons for eyes. If you wish you can add some more decorations using a thicker cotton thread.
