Cthulhu Spawnettes

These sell like hotcakes (or potato chips) as cat toys.  I've made them for at least 10 years. Any green printed fabric works well, though I stick with no-stretch fabrics like cotton and cotton blends.  The eyes are 8mm black beads, the 'leaf' on the back is green felt or green polar fleece and the opening that they're stuffed through is on the back, hidden by the leaf once that part is attached.


I'd tried 4 tentacles but three worked better.  You can vary how wide the face tentacles spread.  I make sure to indent the bead eyes when sewing them on to avoid any issues of a cat chewing them off because they're too loose.  The leaf is cut jaggedly all the way around to mimic seaweed or a fin frill.  Felt is easier to hand sew through than polar fleece.
