Funky Jingle Ball
One of my favorite baby toys to make is the jingle ball. I've made it for a ton of baby gifts and I always get great feedback on how much play it gets. I followed the pattern at Grand Revival Designs on the sidebar under "free patterns," which I originally found out about at the Homemade By Jill blog. I add a bell on the inside so they jingle. I finally made 3 for BooBoo to enjoy. I raided my fabric closet and grabbed a variety of bright fabrics and some different textures (minky, repurposed towels, denim, & cordouroy). I added cut up material, pom pom trim, and ribbon to the different balls for BooBoo to grab onto.

Good fun! Thank you for sharing this idea.
ReplyDeleteI used to make fleece balls for baby gifts all the time. I never thought to add the teething parts. Thanks so much for linking up at One Creative Weekend!
ReplyDeleteI always have an abundance of leftover trim and ribbon, so it's a great way to use them :)
DeleteHooray for jingle balls made by Kat! I have made a ton too, but mine are never as perfectly round as the one you made for Madeleine! These new ones for your little one look wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad it came out round, sometimes the shape comes out funky!
DeleteThese are SO cute and I love the way that you have pictured them! Your little one is adorable too :)
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteOh they're so cute! I wish I were a better seamstress.
ReplyDeleteIt's a great beginner project if you're looking for one, and is always a big hit as a baby gift!
