I have seen a lot of these soft rattles around lately, and thought I should try and figure out how to make them, since they make a perfect little baby presents, and boy are there a lot of babies due this summer!

Anyway, this one is for a friend that just had a baby boy, hope the baby will enjoy it!

We discussed it and decided that the pants with the tomato shirt, the cape and the mask would be plenty. He could wear his boots with it and it would look great.
So I went to work and this is what came out of it:
