January 12, 2006

Are cold and flu germs attacking your immune system like a pack of buzz droids? If so, you've probably been dragging along a tissue box wherever you go. Now you can have everyone's favorite Wookiee keep you company as you get better with this Chewie Tissue Box Cozy!

It's easy to make, plus it's fun! Just follow the instructions below!

What You Need:

[ Chewie Tissue Box Cozy ] 1. Brown Craft Fun Fur
2. Scissors
3. Safety pins/ Straight pins
4. Needle and brown thread
5. Googley eyes
6. Tissue Box
7. Vintage Chewie face mask
8. Craft glue
9. Black and red felt (optional)
10. Fake vampire fangs (optional)
11. Blue doll eyes (optional)

Instructions:

[ Chewie Tissue Box Cozy ] 1. First layout your craft fur with the furry side down on a table and place a tissue box at the end. You'll want to meaure how much material you need by wrapping the box in the fur. Leave some room on top of the fabric so the fur can be folded down on the top of the tissue box.

Have an adult attach the sides together, as well as the folds on top of the box (leaving a slot for the tissues to get through), with either straight pins or safety pins. Once that's finished, have an adult sew sides and top together. You can keep the fabric on the box for better control as the adult sews, just don't sew the cozy TO the box!

Or if you prefer to be even craftier, skip the paper face mask and make your own Chewie face using doll eyes, costume fangs and a felt nose!
