    About this ebook

    Expert toymaker Ted Menten shows how to make 14 cute little critters, each held together by snaps. The snappy approach allows mixing and matching of heads, arms, and legs—and it assists with attaching a variety of charming accessories, including such seasonal items as valentines, Christmas stockings, and Easter eggs. Well-illustrated, simple instructions make assembling these lovable toys a snap!
    Beginners and veteran crafters alike will love creating these creatures, which include a puppy, lion, tiger, lamb, panda, squirrel, elephant, and other animals. Nothing expresses affection like a handcrafted present, and these adorable plush toys make wonderful, one-of-a-kind gifts.

      Welcome to Snappyville

      At the edge of the green woods and across the pond from cliffs of the great mountain is the tiny village of Snappyville.

      The inhabitants of this community call themselves the Snappys because they are all very different but are all created the same way—just like human beings!

      Here in Snappyville there are all sorts of plush critters who often have brothers and sisters as well as cousins.

      There are Betty and Bobby Bunny who love to eat carrots
