Totoro

September 13, 2012 by Julie 4 Comments

I have to admit, when I first heard my cousin talk about Totoro I had know I idea what it was. 
I still don’t know much. What I do know is that Totoro is a famous Japanese animated character and is in a film called, “My Neighbor Totoro”
via
And that it is very famous (apparently there is even one in a scene in Toy Story 3). 
My cousins birthday was a couple of weeks ago and I thought it would be fun to make her a little Totoro. I have a pattern for a knit hat, but August didn’t seem like the best time for that gift. 
Instead I found a picture for a fun little stitched felt Totoro hair clip. I don’t actually expect my cousin, who is a high school senior, to wear Totoro in her hair, but I thought she could attach it to whatever she wanted to. 
So basing it on the one I saw online I freehanded the drawing and cut out my white and gray felt pieces. Then I hand stitched the other details. I was pretty happy with how it turned out. 
I have noticed that there is a car at the twins school that has a Totoro decal on their back window. And now I know what it is!

    This was one of my favorite movies when I was little! And, I probably would’ve worn it in my hair when I was a senior, so you never know!

      I’m thinking I need to rent this movie!
      And I wouldn’t count her wearing one out completely 🙂 I mean, there was a girl at my school on Tuesday who was wearing a Pikachu hair clip.
