Colorful soft rattles with a ring will be very handy when the baby begins to erupt the first teeth. In addition, such wonderful rattles can be sewn as a gift.

To do this, we put in flaps of different colored natural fabrics: cotton, linen and cambric!

Step 3

Stitch two circles along the marked line of the seam, leaving a hole for loops in the seam between the transverse marks, as well as an open area of approx. 4 cm for eversion.

Bind at the beginning and end of each line.

Cut the seam allowances to a width of 5 mm.

Turn out the circle and loosely fill with filler.

Insert a bell inside, sew the open section of the seam for turning out manually.

Start longitudinal sections 1.5 cm from the bend.

Release the loops using a safety pin and press them so that the seam lies along the edge.

Step 5

Round the loops around the wooden ring.

Push the ends of the belt loops into the hole in the circle.

Sew the open area of the seam manually, grabbing the loops.

Using a needle, thread the threads into the fabric at the edge of the circle opposite the belt loop, while the threads should protrude the same length.
