My Fun Floppy Useless Mallet

This instructable is pointless but very fun and changes you perspective about a mallet

A Design

You will need to choose a design I chose a mallet because it shows that mallets are normally hard but I made it soft showing you a different perspective.(original choice was a drill but I found that a bit hard. Please post a comment and a picture if you make anything different).

Materials

You Will Need:

A pair of fabric cutting scissors

White fabric(a bag??)

White cotton with a needle

Colour paints (any colours for your design)

Drawing and Cutting

Now that you have chosen a design and got your materials its time to draw very carefully your design. I used a bag for fabric because it has to be doubled so you get a replica (you don't need to use a bag but its easier).

Ok, now cut it out as you can see I drew two lines make sure you do the same and cut only the outside line.

Your result should be two images of the same design.

Sewing

Ok, now sew the corners (as your can see I have already done the edge)

make sure you cut then like the picture so it is 3d. Make sure you keep the top unsewn so you can stuff it.

Finished Product (for Now)

Ok all the sewing is finished and now its time to stuff this whole instructable (literally). I used chopped up bits of fabric but I believe cotton wool balls would work best.

Paint
