Spread your fabric out in front of you and make a circle on the back of it. Add dots to mark where the eyes will go and add a 1” wide gap for the stuffing on the bottom.
Use your scissors to poke out the dots you have made for eyes.
Insert the screw part of one of the eyes into one of your holes.
Secure it by attaching the back piece of the safety eye on the back of your fabric.
Do the same with the other eye.
Fold the fabric in half as shown and add pins to keep it together.
Start stitching along the lines all the way around.
Leave an opening at the bottom and make a tight running stitch.
Now, trim the fabric around the circle. Be sure to leave a little extra fabric where the opening is.
Turn the fabric right side out.
Use your fingers to open the gap for the stuffing.
Use your funnel to add stuffing to your worry pet.
Begin to close the opening.
To close the opening securely, fold the fabric in and hand stitch to complete your project.
Your sweet, cute, and cuddly worry pet is complete!
Have fun playing around with these and trying out different colors of fabric!

*You could also use pillow stuffing or rice instead of pellets.

**The thread and needle should be the same color as your fabric.
