Baby Crinkle Tag Toy

I made these little crinkle tag toys last night using the tutorial at Joy's Hope. Such a cute and easy idea for a baby present! I'm going to a baby shower tomorrow for my two friends Monique and Seena and I'm so excited to give these to them! 


I stuck to the tutorial except that I didn't use flannel (I didn't have any....not much use for it in the desert!) and I reduced the squares to 5 inches. I used a lightweight cotton fabric so before cutting the squares out I ironed on a lightweight fusible interfacing (Pellon brand) to make the fabric a little heavier. The crinkly plastic was from microwave popcorn....it gave Sienna and I an excuse to attempt eating two whole bags!

    I was up so late last night. Couldn't sleep. I decided to try and do this and it turned out so cute! My corners don't look so hot. Need more practice. However, my first sewing project is complete!!! I will have to take a picture and show you.
