It seems the costume options for little ones are endless this year. If you are still looking for a quick idea, these animal scarfs are so a fun option. They have the head of an animal at one end and the backside at the other. Cheeky!
Pulled together with a simple mask, theyβd be an easy Halloween stand-in. As a bonus, they can be worn with regular clothes for the rest of the season. The scarfs are made using stuffed animals cut in half! Such a genius solution to that overflowing pile at the end of their bed.
You can make the animal scarfs with a pre-made scarf, or make your own scarf with a length of fleece or animal fur. If you donβt have kids, theyβd be awesome homemade Christmas present for the little ones on your list.
To create the look of these scarfs, cut a stuffed animal in half and remove stuffing from body. Leave the stuffing in the head/tail and limbs. Fold over raw edges of each piece of the stuffed animal and baste (long, straight stitch) on the sewing machine.
Optional: for a hand made scarf β cut two 8βx40β of your fabric or fur and sew along the sides with right sides facing. Turn right-sides-out. Tuck each end of the scarf inside one half of the stuffed animal and machine or hand stitch closed.

Tutorial: Stuffed animal scarves | Sewing Patterns
November 1, 2013 at 2:10 am[β¦] Disney from Ruffles and Stuff shares a tutorial over at A Subtle Revelry/ showing how you can make one of these cute stuffed animal scarves. Little kids will love these!! One end of the scarf has the front of the animal, and the other has the back. You can use a purchased scarf or make one from scratch. Either way, it looks like a super simple project. The hardest thing looks to be steeling your nerves to cut a stuffed animal in half. Go to A Subtle Revelry to get her tutorial. [β¦]
