I was babysitting Milou and all the toys her parents gave me were those loud electronic toys with horrible sounds and music. My ears were in pain. I was looking at this cute fabric wondering what to make and I came up with these. One bag is filled with rice and little bells, one with bells and buttons (feeling) and the other with a plastic sandwich bag. A much nicer sound in can tell you.

Version A rattle bag Cut out two squares of appr. 15x15 cm + seam allowance. Pin them together, right sides facing each other. Add a little ribbon in between. Sew but leave an opening of 5-6 cm. Turn inside out and fill with rice and bells. (don't use too much rice, it should stay very flexible) Topstitch whole square around the edges to finish. You can use a decorative stitch if you like.
Version B crackle bag Cut out two squares of appr. 15x15 cm + seam allowance. Put them together, right sides facing each other and place a plastic (sandwich) bag on top. Pin everything together. Cut off excess plastic. Add a little ribbon in between. Sew with the plastic facing down and leave an opening of 5-6 cm. Turn inside out and topstitch around the edges it to finish. You can use a decorative stitch if you like.
Version C feel bag Cut out two squares of appr. 15x15 cm + seam allowance. Cut out one piece of felt same size. Sew some buttons on the felt on one side and maybe also some little bells. Stay at least 3-4 cm away from the sides.
Put the fabric together, right sides facing each other and place the felt square on top with the buttons facing up. Pin everything together. Cut off excess fabric. Add a little ribbon in between.
