aww,really cute....im going to try that with my friends this spring. They would love it!!
I made for my twin grandsons. I used buttons for eyes and a square button for the nose. They turned out very cute.
Very cute! This would be nice for a craft fair. Quick & easy. Also, if you added a pin-back & left off the magnets, you could wear this on your jacket for Easter.
Makes me want to learn how to crochet!
