I decided I'd have to make my own travel buddy. It was during waffle week when I had the following picture as my Facebook profile pic:
I found the picture on google and have no idea who made it or why, but you have to admit it's pretty awesome. When I asked my Facebook friends what I should make for my travel buddy someone suggested I make the waffle eating vampire bunny.
So I searched for bunny softie patterns and this is what I found on Craft Passion:
A little on the cutesy side, but it worked. The pattern is made from socks. I altered it slightly to get rid of the droopy ears. It ended up taking about three socks because I had to redo a couple things and because I ended up using the toes of the socks and some pink felt for the ears.
At first I wasn't sure how I was gonna do the ears so he looked kind of like a baby seal.
I put a little packet of rice in his bum to keep him from falling over. I was going to use sugar but then I thought I'd have issues going through security at the airport. I didn't want them tearing him apart thinking I was smuggling cocaine.
Here he is with ears:
His waffle is make of felt.
It took awhile to find something to use for the teeth, but eventually I found something in the beading aisle at Ben Franklin that worked:
And here's some pics on the trip:
I also made a travel turtle for my sister. And we picked up a loch ness monster in Scotland and a little lamb in Ireland:
