Stuffed animal eye patch!

Stuffed animal eye patch! My youngest son has a love for his stuffed animals and recently our new puppy has taken a liking as well. For some reason Sunny, our puppy, really likes chewing off the eyes!

After much consideration of repairing the eyes, my husband thought an eye patch would be fun! I agreed! In search of eye patches I couldn't find one that looked just right or fit the heads properly. I decided to make my own. I purchased black felt and black stretchable cord. My son was a bit disappointed at how "boring" a black eye patch was. We found sheets of duct tape in a a handful of styles at JoAnnes Fabrics. He picked out the zebra print.

I cut the felt free hand in the shape of an eyepatch and then cut a square of the duct tape sheet. I stuck them together and then trimmed the excess tape. Next, I found a needle with a extra big eye to fit the cord through. I poked it through one side and through the other and then tied the two loose ends together while the patch was on the animal. Make sure while your tieing the cord is being stretched. Voila!

The fun thing is he can put them on other animals and they are reversable since the other side is still the black felt.
