Some projects turn out better than our expectations and some don’t quite get there. For me, this little turtle hide-and-seek toy is in the latter category!
I purchased clear fabric, plastic beads, and some tiny charms to make an ‘I Spy’ toy for…ELOISE. Oops.
Luckily I know of another sweet small girl who could enjoy such a toy so I decided I should make it quickly before my niece, too, is way too old for I Spy toys!
Originally my plan was to make a simple square, but after a little internet search and seeing all the creative shapes you can make with these, I realized a turtle would be perfect because it is (a) cute and (b) a tribute to my sister who LOVED turtles when she was young.
The end result is a hand drafted turtle who is a tiny bit wonky…but made with lots of love none-the-less.
