TOY BOX TOPICS
WHERE CAN I BUY ONE OF THESE TOYS?
Media: Polar fleece, polyester fiber stuffing and buttons | Size: 5 1/2" x 9"x 1 3/4"
Comments: Last holiday season (no not Halloween), we made and sent out these Simple Chimple dolls to our friends and families. It was one of my first experiences making things with polar fleece and I learned a lot, such as the following: Like pretty much every fabric on Earth, because of how fabric is created, it stretches more one way than the other.
Not nowing this fact, I traced out and cut out a handful of dolls before Mrs. Walters educated me. The result was a handful of odd, tall and lanky chimps (of which the one shown here is one.) From that point on, I paid attention to how the fabric was acting and the other toys came out loads better.
When we sent them out, we gave each one a different name and wrote it on a tag we put on the dolls. The funny thing now is that when people talk about them they call them by name. This is especially confusing when people mention them out of the blue, as when one would say, "Larry is sitting on the chair here in my living room," and you have to try to remember if they got a new pet or spouse.
You can also get Simple Chimple as a button in the Nerfect Button Shop.
