A little monster for my little monster

Aidan is VERY into anything monster related, Monsters and Frozen (what can I say. my kid is an all rounder) He gets sooooo excited , stomps around roaring and making monster hands… It started with Monsters Inc. but now he seems to even notice generic “monsters” anything that has googly eyes or is slightly monstery looking gets his attention (I’m not sure how he classes them) …I thought it might be fun to make him his own monster, this is what I came up with…

I didn’t take step by step pictures, but it’s pretty simple…..

You need:

A old onsie (I used one that was specially made for him and I couldn’t bare to part with anyway)
Scraps of  material
Buttons
Fabric paint
needle and thread
Stuffing (My monster is stuffed with old baby clothes and burp cloths, those I didn’t donate because they were just not cute any more…stained, torn, faded)

How to: 

Turn onsie inside out
sew up openings at hands and feet
turn back right way around
Sew on a face with material scraps
Sew on buttons for eyes and paint on a mouth
Stuff your monster and sew up the neck part
– Next time I will use a bigger face, but not bad for a first try, I think
