Here is Sharron - my first Str-e-t-c-hmark. Her frames are made from a plastic coated paperclip. She needs to wear these for her work at the hospital

Here is Lisa - her hair is made from fake fur and she is wearing a fabric headband & funky beaded earrings.

Here is Ellen - her hair is a combination of fake fur and fringe. The fur looks more like a beanie. She loves to dye her hair!

Here are Rhona & Patricia. They are both the life of the party and love to dress up!

Here is Björn - he is sporting a moustache & goatee and they are all made from fake fur. He loves to listen to music while he tramps!

Here are Hamish & Jen - Jen loves to write her own songs & Hamish loves to listen to them using his funky headphones! 

These are the basic materials you will need to make the craft stretchmark.

Cut a small circle out of double layered pantyhose and using a running stitch, stitch around the outer edge leaving the threads long so that you can draw them up after adding the stuffing.

Using stuffing create a firm ball to fit inside the circle.

Using a running stitch create a nose.

Stitch on a mouth and indents for the eyes.

Stitch small beads in place for the eyes.

Begin making the feet the same way you did the head but use a small rectangle shape instead. Use a double layer of pantyhose.

After stuffing the feet, use your thread to make 2 feet and their toes. No need to make them perfectly!

Next sew on a length of elastic to the back of the head. Now embellish the head with hair and give the face some character. I have used real blusher & permanent fabric pens to draw in the eye lashes, brows & lips.

Lastly, attach the feet & earrings then add the printed sleeve. She's now ready to go to her new home and be very useful!!

Have fun making your own craft bookmark!
