I made this felt Grover to keep my earlier two Sesame street-inspired felt projects (Cookie Monster and Elmo, inspired by Caz' felt magnet versions) company and for my sister who loves Grover. Here's a suggested step-by-step version to make Grover's face in felt. Have fun! :)

Instructions

  1. Small 102152 2f2014 05 28 143809 20140504 155520 1 1

    First, find a clipart image of Grover online that you are happy with. You may wish to modify the size of the felt project accordingly.

  2. Small 102152 2f2014 05 28 143929 20140504 155529 1

    Prepare the necessary colours of felt pieces for stitching Grover, which would include dark blue, pink, red, black and white felt and the needful embroidery thread.

  3. Small 102152 2f2014 05 28 144219 20140504 155556 1

    Prepare an additional piece of dark blue felt cut to the shape of Grover's head as backing for the face.

  4. Small 102152 2f2014 05 28 144225 20140504 224155 1 1

    Beginning with the top part of Grover's face, stitch the black pupils on each of the eyes, which are positioned as slightly slanted towards both ends on Grover's face. Then, stitch both eyes onto the face.

  5. Small 102152 2f2014 05 28 144230 20140505 192110 1 1

    Next, stitch the nose in between Grover's eyes, as shown. It helps to keep referring to your chosen clipart image to check that your felt project is turning out fine.

  6. Small 102152 2f2014 05 28 145254 20140505 192339 1 1

    When preparing the felt pieces for the bottom part of Grover's face, take care to cut out an extra border of dark blue felt along the top so as to allow the top half of the face to overlap over the bottom at the end of this project.

  7. Small 102152 2f2014 05 28 145302 20140505 192312 1 1

    For the lower part of Grover's face, stitch the black felt for the mouth. Then, stitch the semi-circular red felt (for the lips) around the black felt.

  8. Small 102152 2f2014 05 28 145504 20140505 192905 1 1

    Stitch the completed top part of Grover's face over (the extra border of dark blue felt) such that it overlaps the completed bottom part of his face.

  9. Small 102152 2f2014 05 28 145511 20140509 225939 1 1

    Stitch the backing onto Grover's face and fill this plushie with stuffing.

  10. Small 102152 2f2014 05 28 145515 20140510 001958 1 1

    There you have it.. your very own felt Grover! :)
