If you hadn't noticed by now that sloths are something of an internet craze at the moment, then newsflash: they are. I decided to make a scarf that looks like a sloth, so that I have someone to be lazy with when everyone else is too busy to just relax. Live slow, die whenever.

Cut one long strip of your fluffy fabric , about 32-35 cm wide. I made mine as long as I could, using the entire length of the fabric. Make it shorter or wider to your own liking.
Cut out a piece of fluffy fabric the size you want the head to be. Repeat this shape on another piece of fluffy fabric, then cut out a piece of felt for the face.
Paint the face using acrylic and fabric paints.
Ensure that the safety eyes and nose fit appropriately on the sloth's face.
Sew the two fluffy head pieces together, then turn right-side-out.
Place the head where you want it to be on the scarf.
Sew the face and head onto the scarf, and add the safety eyes and nose.
Sew down the length of the scarf and close the ends, sewing foot shapes at each end. Leave a section in the middle open to turn it right-side-out, then turn and close.
