Make This Amazing Cookie Monster Fur Rug For Your Child

If you love a spot of DIY, try to control yourself because this is one seriously cool crafty creation.

Talented project-maker Michael Warren (whose work you absolutely must check out) has put together a step-by-step guide to make this incredible Cookie Monster rug that all Sesame Street fans – both old and new – will love.

“This iconic blue abomination was just begging to be remade into a bear skin rug,” writes Michael on instructables.com, where he posts all of his top DIY ideas for fans to try at home.

“Using blue faux-fur fabric and some other textile supplies, I was able to make this rug in under and hour.”

And it’s perfect for children, he adds. “This soft rug is great for kids, and the cookie pillows really make it complete.” They most definitely do.

So how do you make it, you ask? Believe it or not, Michael’s right – it IS pretty simple. You can read the full instructions here.

You don't need much in the way of supplies, either.

"To make your own monster rug, you're going to need blue monster fur," Michael explains. "You can usually find this as your local fabric shop, but you may need to hunt around for a little. It's not that special, but smaller stores might not carry it. For this project, I only needed one yard of blue fur.

"You're also going to need one package of white yarn and two black buttons for the eyes."
