I love to make felt Nightmare Before Christmas characters for my NBC obsessed child. She's loved Jack and Sally since she was two and the infatuation is still going strong.
I made a Jack yesterday for another Nightmare lover and wanted to share the steps with you!!
Or you can screenshot the pattern at the bottom of this post.
Use a black blanket stitch to add the eyes (Piece B) to the head (Piece A).
With a black stem stitch add eyebrows and some little laugh lines by the eyes.
The nostrils are about 5 satin stiches in the shape of a tear drop.
Make Jack's smile with a line of black stem stitch then go back over the smile with uneven and crooked single straight stitches. The more wonky the better!
Roll the neck (Piece C) into a tube then close with a white blanket stitch.
Attach the head front and back to the neck with a white blanket stitch then stuff the neck.
White blanket stitch all the way around the head. Make sure to add your ribbon hanging loop in between the two pieces and stuff before you stitch completely closed.
Add five stripes to either side of Jack's bow tie (Piece F) with a white stem stitch. If it's a bit uneven and wonky that's a good thing!!!
Use a white blanket stitch to pop on the glittery bat eyes (Piece E) to the bat's head (Piece D).
Black blanket stitch the bat to the middle of the bow tie.
Keep going with the black blanket stitch to attach the bowtie to Jack's neck.
Black blanket stitch all around the edge of the bow tie to add the back (Piece F).
Once the bow tie is finished your Jack Skellington is ready to be displayed!!
I love to see your creation so please tag me in on Instagram or Facebook!
