Hello Agent P

I finished making the 4 Perry the Platypus (Agent P)

for my 4 grandsons just in time for Easter :)

Other than searing my flesh (repeatedly) with the hot glue gun,

this was a fun little project :)

*ouch*

According to the pattern directions

the entire project is glued together

but I want these little guys to last longer than a day

so I used wool felt and stitched them together instead.

I only used the glue gun

 to attach the pipe cleaners

and glue the hats on.

If you are planning on making a Perry of your own

I would suggest that you attatch the eyes and beaks

before you assemble the body.

It's so much easier to work with that way.

I can never understand why patterns

have you add the details after stuffing.

I also added heavy duty interfacing

to the tail to help Perry stand up.

I ended up tacking the tale to the body

with a few stitches as well

or the poor guy just kept falling over.

In case you missed it yesterday

the link to the free pattern is HERE.

Looks like I'll be making one more of these....

turns out the hubby wants one too :)
