Swimming noodle pony

So, after a week of not doing any crafts, because I had to study for my exams, I was in the mood to make one quick little DIY project. I stumbled upon this great idea to make swimming noodle ponies. It took me only about 30 minutes and here is the result. I followed the tutorial from this blog adding couple of my own tweaks.

• Since Elise is only 20 months old and about 95cm high, I've cut about 40cm from the bottom of the noodle (using a kitchen knife) to adjust it to her height. 
• I used a ribbon instead of a twine
• I made felt eyes 
• cut out 2 larger ovals form grey felt
• cut out 2 smaller circles from black felt
• glue the black circles in the bottom part of the gray ovals using a hot glue gun
• I added nostrils 
• cut a black oval shape from your black felt
• cut it in two halves
• glue them to the bottom part of the face
• Mane
• Using a kitchen knife, a cut about 0.5cm deep into the middle of the head, starting a little in front of the ears and continuing down to the ribbon 
• I cut out felt stripes (blue and gray), about 2cm wide and 7cm long
• I cut the edges of the stripes into pointy arrows
• Using scissors with a blunt end, I pushed the felt stripes into the cut in the head, overlaying them as I continued

What to add? Elise loves her new pony :)
