They say every little girl wants a pony (and in my experience, boys do too). Now get one that tucks away in the wardrobe when you’re finished with it. Much cheaper and easier to house and maintain than a real pony, a hobby horse is one of those classic toys no home should be without. Lil Moo Designs offers a great new Australian made hobby horse in three different designs. Each horse is about one metre tall and even comes with its own certificate of adoption. Handcrafted from designer fabrics. |

Gift Idea: DIY Stick Hobby Horses - by A Beautiful Mess
1. Supplies: fabric, stuffing, yarn/mophead, long wooden dowel, 1 styrofoam ball per horse, felt.
2. Carve out a portion of the styrofoam ball and glue the stick into the ball.
3. Cut out your horse head from your fabric. Cut yarn (about 30 inches long) and double over.
(Mop head yarn-don't double over)
4. Sew around the perimeter of the horse head, adding the yarn in as you go.
Make sure to leave the bottom or "neck" open. This is where you add stuffing.
5. Turn the horse head inside out and begin stuffing. ( eg old pillow stuffing)
6. Once the head is almost stuffed, insert ball into the neck and finish stuffing around the ball.
Hand-stitch the opening closed.
7. Cut out horse's ears and stitch around the perimeter. Turn right-side out and hand-stitch in place.
8. Add details such as a bridle and eyes.
For these horses, I cut eyelashes from black felt and used fabric glue to glue them into place.
I used the sewing machine to sew strips of scrap leather together to create the bridle and reins.
PS there is 4 heads for 4 horses in the pictures
