Would you like to make a unique toy for your children or a gift for someone special? Something that will appeal to toddler or teenager? That’s inexpensive and personal? That will challenge your resourcefulness and creativity? If so, gather the following materials and stitch up a dinosaur! A stuffed dinosaur pillow, that is.

You’ll Need

[1] Discarded Jeans. Two pairs of adult-size denim jeans, faded about the same, so that the pieces will match when they are put together and one pair of children’s jeans, brightly colored, for the mouth and spikes on the spine.

[2] Felt. A 4″ x 8″ piece of black for the eyes and a 1 1/2″ x 6″ scrap of pink or red for the tongue.

[3] Thread. A spool of blue quilting thread to use when sewing the jeans (it’s stronger than the regular variety), and a spool of black for the eyes.
