4" wide pieces of fabric the length indicated in individual project instructions.
Matching sewing thread
Plastic pellets or rice
Polyester fiberfill
1-1/4" wood ball knob
White and black acrylic paints
Blush
Cotton Swab
Hot glue

Step1) Fold fabric in half across 4" width so right sides are facing. Stitch 1/2" side seams

Step 2) Lay fabric so a bottom corner is flat and one seam is centered across the bottom fold of the fabric.  Stitch 1/2" seam across corner as illustrated so sack will stand upright.  Repeat on other corner.

Step 3) Turn body sack to right side.  Place 2" of plastic pellets or rice in bottom of sack to weight it down.  Stuff top of sack with fiberfill.

Step 4) Fold back 1/2" at top edge of sack.  Baste around top of sack 1/4" below the fold.  Pull thread to gather and close neck.  Tie thread to secure.
