Fun project alert! Ever since my daughter was introduced to Hr. Skæg (Mr. Beard/Fun), his show has made an appearance in my house on a daily basis. So for Christmas I decided to make her a soft doll of him.
This is Mr. Beard / Hr. Skæg. Ok I'm not gonna lie, I love his show too, and this is my favorite song.
I began with this sketch
Then I just dove right in at the fabric store. I found the perfect shade of red felt. I also bought (a ridiculous amount) of faux fur to use as his beard. I had some batting just laying around to stuff him with. The rest was just scraps of leather and and old tie of my husband's that I up-cycled.
At this point I was really just winging it. I decided to create a little pattern out of thick bristol paper before I started cutting the felt. I traced the shapes and then had at it!
Sådan! Here's the final product- I present to you Hr. Skæg- in doll form!
