Unlikely friends! Hippo, Elephant, Snail, Dinosaur & Seahorses!

 

We decided we wanted to make some Misfits of our own. So one day last week we sat down with paper and pencil, and came up with these random array of animals. It was such a sense of achievement designing and making them from scratch. They are of course, made from t-shirts and such like, so apart from the stuffing they don't cost anything to make.

 

 The worst one? We think it's the snail. You can tell it's meant to be a snail (least we hope you can!) but it doesn't look quite right, especially from the back. We think the only way round it, would be to make the snail in one piece, rather than a separate body and separate shell as we did here.

 As for the best one? We can't decide! Though secretly, we do both like the seahorses!

We used the same template for both of these seahorses. The reason one is larger than the other is totally down to the materials used. The sandy coloured one is made from a satin strappy vest and so it has no 'give' in it. The aqua coloured one is a very stretchy strappy vest, hence it ended up bigger! So yes, these are fully recycled from my friends clothes - again!
