Refrigerator Magnet

• 1). Cut two matching 4-inch-diameter circles from felt.
  
  
• 2). Thread a darning needle with 12 inches of yarn. Place the circles together and insert the needle, going from back to front, 1/4 inch from the edge of the felt. Pull the needle and yarn through the felt and leave a 6-inch tail.
  
  
• 3). Bring the needle to the backside of the felt and insert the needle 1/4 inch from the previous stitch. Continue stitching until the pieces are joined about halfway.
  
  
• 4). Push a small amount of cotton into the pocket to create a puffy look. Continue to stitch around the edge until you meet the starting stitch. Cut the yarn off and leave a tail.
  
  
• 5). Tie a knot using the two tails and cut off the loose strings.
  
  
• 6). Glue a magnet to the back of the felt and use it as a refrigerator magnet. Add a face to the front with different-colored felt pieces and glue.
