Eyes and Mouth

Cut two round pieces of red felt and then use white thread for the sparkles/pupils in the corner of the eyes.

Then sew eyes onto body with red sewing thread.

Cut one mouth out of red felt and sew onto the body under and in between where eyes were sewed on.


You may use whatever you’d like for the eyes and mouth to make it your own unique looking Jumpluff. It's fun to hang from the ceiling or the wall with fishing line so it looks like it's floating too.


You’re finished :D
