Felt Gingerbread Zombie
Looking for something cuddly and sweet to give your valentine? Search no further than this craft ;).
Materials:
*Brown felt (for a more gingerbready aesthetic) or green felt (for a more zombie-like look)
*Gingerbread person template (I traced around a cookie cutter)
*Chalk
*Scissors
*Red and white (or black) fabric paint
*Needle and thread
*Stuffing
Directions:
*Trace two gingerbread person shapes onto your felt with chalk and cut out.
*Decorate one of your gingerbread cut outs with fabric paint to make it look zombie-like. A few years ago, Brian and I made gingerbread zombie cookies for a Halloween party and I decided that I wanted to make mine resemble that, but you can also go for a more gruesome look. Set aside your zombie to dry.
The zombie gingerbread person that served as the inspiration for my zombie gingerbread plushie.
*Using a blanket stitch, sew the together the two zombie halves, leaving an opening large enough for you to add the stuffing. Insert stuffing until your zombie reaches its desired fullness and then sew closed.
