Check out these adorable minky balls! Our mommy made them for our babies with leftover minky. She acutally made about 30 of them. I think the idea was to sell them on etsy, but she decided it wouldn't be worth it. I think she donated them all because she is nice! I would have saved them for never ending babyshower gifts.
There are tutorials out there. Sorry we don't have one for you. But make sure to add a cat toy inside. Better than jingle bells because the bell will not ring inside of all that stuffing. But the cat toy has the bell inside a plastic ball, so it is protected.
Our babies love these. Plus, and more importantly, they look super cool and hip while playing with them. Speaking of super cool and hip. I bought the huggies cool dude denim diapers for Weston. We love them on him. The older sisters laugh and laugh. If you haven't seen the commercial for them, I highly recommend it.
I don't know when or if I will attempt one of these, but definitely a project to put on that "to do someday" folder. Right?

OH, those are really cute. I especially like the BYU themed one. You know how those Cougars are -- true blue and trained up from the time they are toddlers (lol). Thanks for sharing.

Such a cute idea!
Oh, so fun! I know a couple of little ones who would enjoy a toy like that!

Great idea with the cat toy. These came out really nice and very creative. Too bad I don't have any babies or showers to attend. I would of loved to make a few of these.
