Llama Banner - a personalized felt garland with letters

I like to make personalized things. People want to have something unique, made specially for them. And this is the part that I like: my items are unique and it is a refreshing thought. A custom one is this llama banner. It is made with colors to match to room furniture.

Llama, llama banner, no probllama 

Llamas become so popular! They are cute with their friendly and childish faces. I made my own design pattern for these llama. 

The letters for this llama banner have almost 12 cm in height and they have anti bacterial toy filling inside. 

It is a versatile banner. It can be a decoration in a room, in a nursery. But also it can be a banner for a baby shower party or for a birthday party. 

Llama, llama! You can order your llama banner in my Etsy Shop Here.

A banner with 2 llamas

The llamas are the new trend. Everybody loves them because they have a soft wool. For a llama lover I made this name banner. Isabella is her name and her mother has wanted to have some pastel colors in the nursery.

The llama is easy to sew. It is like a deer, but the neck is longer. I chosen the white felt for these ones, but you can make them with brown or cafe.

The letters have almost 12cm and the banner is long enough - 90cm. It can be hang on the wall or on the door, in a nursery or a girl room. Or it can be a nice decoration for a birthday party, for a baby shower too.

Personalized doll from kid's drawing

This personalized doll was a challenge. The hair, the flower from her hand, the fingers, the stripes from the dress. I tried to follow the drawing and to catch her face expression. As you can see, it is a doll made after a kid's drawing. It was a special gift for a mom who wanted to keep her girl's drawing as a memory.

A personalized doll is an unique gift!

 The doll is made from felt. It has anti bacterial polyester inside and it has 24 cm.

Polar bear - a custom toy

According to this girl's drawing, this is a polar bear. How can I made it a toy, I asked myself. It was not so easy. The drawing has a lots of details and I had to sew it piece by piece, by hand. But the result ...

I used colorful and soft felt. It is filled with anti bacterial polyester.

Some of the details are embroidered. Other are small felt pieces sew together.

I think it will be a nice present. A custom toy has something special, it is unique. Probably sometimes it is a strange toy, because kids' drawings are so creative! But more than that, it is a special toy and definitely  it brings joy.

Purple unicorn made after a drawing

The reality is that we don't know what color is an unicorn. Perhaps they are white. Or even purple.
I think purple (besides pink) is a very lovely color and the little girls like it very much.

A purple unicorn is unique

Here it is another unicorn. A purple unicorn. And a personalized one, because it is made after a girl's drawing. It was a difficult toy to make. It has lots of details, lots of colors. I sew all the little pieces by hands, one by one. 

I like how it turns out. I like the bows. And the rainbow from the tail.
