Basic Instructions

Cut three pieces of seven count plastic canvas about 1 5/8" or 10 holes square .

---

Take two squares and slip stitch two sides together as shown.

---

Hold the two stitched pieces together and open the unstitched sides. Stitch the third square on one side of the unstitched plastic as pictured.

---

Continue to corner and down other side.

---

You now have a pyramid effect.

---

You can see by each of these pictures that they can be squeezed and the unstitched side will open like a mouth.

---

To create the Santa I used fake fur cut for the top and bottom. Small piece of red felt for the hat. Pop-poms for the nose and hat with wiggle eyes to complete the project. I printed tags saying "Give me a squeeze and I'll give you a kiss". Hershey kisses were used for the kiss. You may use a piece of yarn attached to the back to hang as a decoration.

---

Try making a bunny for Easter or pumpkin for Halloween.
