Felt Pokemon Snorlax Plushie


     Still trying to catch a Snorlax?  Why not make one?  This little critter may not be much help defending your local Gym (or maybe it will; you never know), but it's cut and cuddly, the perfect gift for Pokemon fans of all ages.

My Snorlax defending local Gym, Emera Astronomy Center

Materials:
*2 sheets medium blue "Snorlax colored" felt
*1 sheet cream colored felt
*Scraps of black felt
*Scraps of white felt
*Needle and thread
*All purpose adhesive
*Stuffing
*Metallic marker or chalk

Directions:
*Print out a copy or two (two needed if you want to reuse the template) of the below template, sized to your desired size:


*Cut out the various outside pieces of the template and trace using a metallic marker or chalk two copies of the body from blue felt, one copy of the inner body piece from cream colored felt, and four copies of the foot from cream colored felt.
*Cut out the various pieces, as shown below:


*Sew the cream colored body piece onto one of the blue body pieces like such:


*Sew together two of the foot pieces, leaving a small opening.


*Stuff and then sew the rest of the way closed.  Repeat with the other two foot pieces.


*Place together the two body pieces and start sewing together, sandwiching in the feet when needed.  Leave an opening for the stuffing.  I left a fairly sizable one at the outset so that I could reach and more easily stuff the distant arm.


*Stuff and sew closed.  Since I started with such a big opening, I added a little stuffing, then added a few stitches, added some more stuffing, sewed a few more stitches, and so on.


*Cut out eyes and a mouth from black felt and two teeth from white felt and glue them to the Snorlax's face.  Now your Snorlax is ready!
