RUN, RUN, As Fast As You Can!

 
 
 
I have love the story of the Gingerbread Man for as long as I can remember, except the ending where the sly fox eats him. Boohoo.... Well, here is a version that the old sly fox will not want to eat. He is made out of felt.
 
He is made the exact same way that the Snowman is made. Of course the exception being use brown felt and you will need tiny ric rac and to paint the trinket box brown. I added more ric rac to the bottom of trinket box.
 

I didn't sew that teeny, tiny, reading glasses needed ric rac. I used glue. HINT: squirt a tiny amount of glue (dime size) onto a plastic top. I use any top available, you ought to see my mod podge top. Now use a needle to apply the glue onto the ric rac. If you will premeasure your ric rac and cut it before you apply the glue things will go smoother, just sayin'. I have a trick to keep ribbon and ric rac from unraveling. I will share it with you tomorrow. It is the way most professionals seal the ribbon. It will have a nice crisp finished look. Stay tuned :)

    Thank you so much for sharing this. It was PERFECT for a swap I'm doing. I hope he recipient loves it and checks out your blog to see all the other cute things you've come up with (of course, I included the pattern in the package along with a link to your blog!).

    I'll be posting some pics of my version (soon) on my blog.

    Thanks thanks thanks for sharing. I loved making this cute gingerbread man and sharing it.
