Make a winter blanket and hay net for your toy horse!

Would you like to make your toy horse a winter blanket and hay net? It’s so easy! Just follow our step-by-step instructions, get an adult to help you with the glue gun and enjoy the results!

Materials

• Glue Gun • Fabric • Scissors • Felt Pen • Trim • Paper • Netting (from an onion or avocado bag)

Place your toy horse against your paper. Place the horse’s belly at one edge of the paper and measure the point where the horse’s back lands. Mark this point with your felt pen. Fold the paper at this point and cut out an insert for the horse’s neck as shown:

STEP 2

Position your paper pattern against your fabric and use it to cut out the shape of your toy blanket in the fabric.

STEP 3

Use the glue gun to fasten the trim for your blanket all around the edges, leaving a longer strip at the beginning as a way to tie the blanket at the horse’s chest. Leave a long strip on the opposite side as well.

STEP 4

Cut the labels and edges off of your netting.

STEP 5

Lay the netting out flat and place some real hay in the center. If you don’t have hay, you can use wood chips or raffia to get the same effect. Wrap the hay up in the middle and secure it with the same trim you used for the blanket.
