Tutorial: Your child’s art made into a softie

Your child’s drawings are a window into his or her mind and imagination. What if you could make an actual softie out of one of their drawings? Aunt Peaches shares a tutorial at I Love To Create showing how you can do just that. She uses fabric markers so the child can draw their original creature directly on to a piece of fabric. From there, it takes just a few simple steps to turn that drawing into a softie creature your child can snuggle.
