Free pattern: Stuffed felt flamingo faux taxidermy

Veva from My White Idea guest blogs at 2nd Funniest Thing with showing how to make this stuffed felt flamingo taxidermy head. How cute would this be mounted on a candy colored plaque? I think I might need to make one for my front porch. The tutorial is written in Spanish, but there are enough photos to show how to make this project even if you can’t read Spanish. (You could also try a website translator.) To download the pattern, look for the word plantilla in her post.Go to 2nd Funniest Thing for the pattern and tutorial.
