Funky Ball-Creature from Wash Mitt

I've been waiting for those funky microfiber car wash mitts to show up at the dollar store again. This week, all my waiting finally paid off! They're back, in new colors! I immediately snatched one up and turned it into this little fella. It's really very simple, and took me only about 15 minutes to make. It's certainly not rocket science, either -- no measuring or patterns needed! Come see how I did it! [go to tutorial]

Project Estimate:

wash mitt, $1
handful of stuffing, on hand
needle and thread, on hand
googly eyes (optional), on hand

Total: $1 and up!
