Frog Sewing Ideas
Among soft toys, school-age children really like unusual animals: dragons, lizards, crocodiles, frogs.
A toy made from a frog pattern has many interesting variations. You can sew pot-bellied Kwaka from the cartoon "Thumbelina" or the unusual Princess Frog from a Russian fairy tale. Funny characters of frogs will become a favorite toy for children or decorate a shelf in a children's room.
Felt toy
Soft toys are voluminous or flat. The second are made of felt and have many uses. A frog made of felt made according to a funny pattern is used as a keychain, pendant, Christmas tree toy, and theater character.

- synthetic winterizer;
- red and green threads;
- two buttons (for the eye);
- bright chintz shreds.
Operating procedure:
- We cut out the pattern and transfer it to the fabric.
- Cut out the details from felt.
- Paired parts need to be fixed, to smooth uneven edges.
- A felt toy is sewn from the front, so the seams should be extremely even and neat. Sheathed frog legs, leaving a small hole and filling the inside with a padding polyester.
- From a bright plain fabric we cut a circle. We pull it with a thread in a circle, we stuff it with a synthetic winterizer. It turns out a red uneven flagellum. This will be the frog's collar.
- Glue eyes on the front side of the head, embroider a smile with red threads.
- We attach the second part of the head and carefully sew it. We leave an incision at the bottom of the head and put in the filler.
- Sew the upper legs of the "quack". So that the synthetic winterizer easily fills the legs, push it with a pencil.
- The following is the assembly of the toy. The upper legs are sewn to the body, closer to the neck. From above we fasten the collar, which covers the place of connection of the legs with the body.
- Last sew on the head.
- It is not difficult to make a skirt or shirt for a frog from pieces of chintz. A soft toy frog will become even more interesting.

King's quack
The Frog Princess will look very cute if made from green fur.
We will prepare materials for sewing:
- green fur;
- frog pattern;
- two black buttons on the leg;
- white nail polish or acrylic paint;
- pieces of cardboard and foil;
- pieces of red felt;
- patches of shiny or transparent fabric;
- sewing machine, scissors, needle and thread.
Operating procedure:
- We transfer the details of the pattern to the wrong side of the fur, and carefully cut it out.
- Sew the parts of the body separately. Lower legs with body, then upper. The fur perfectly hides the joints of the seam, so you can sew parts from the front as well as from the wrong side.
- Let’s take care of the head of the princess. Sew the parts of the head and fill with padding polyester. Buttons will become eyes, but first on each of them with white varnish you need to draw a white rim. Thus, the "eyes" will become more natural and brighter. After drying, sew the “eyes” in place of the eye sockets. From red felt, cut out the mouth and glue it to the face.
- Sew the head to the body.
- From cardboard and foil, we make a small crown and glue it on top of the “croquette” head.
- From pieces of satin, organza or any other shiny fabric we sew a collar for the princess. The patch is cut out in a rectangle. On the one hand, we make large stitches with a needle and tighten the thread. The shred will take the accordion. In this form, we sew a seam on the fabric and sew the collar to the frog, thus decorating the neck area.
Before the eyes of the master appears Princess Frog in person.
