I've been working on some original felt stuffies. One is an octopus, and my husband suggested using sequins for the suckers. How brilliant is that? Not having any sequins, this week it was priority #1 (right after working and all the other stuff that has to get done). As you can see, I found plenty of sequins, thanks to a trip to Walmart and Pearl.

Not only do I have a variety of tiny multicolored sequins to try out as octopus suckers, but I found some wonderful gold and silver starbursts and white iridescence flowers that I want to use as owl eyes. The medium and small black sequins might be my solution for stuffie eyes. (See the monkey stuffie entry for my unsatisfying experiment with google-eyes.) I have no immediate plans for the fall colored flowers or the uber tiny stars, but they were so sparkly and cute that I couldn't pass them up.
