Or how to make a little fun of the problem

Many people know that gloves often lose their pair. And it is a lonely glove in the dresser because we hope to someday find my other glove, and justice. Fortunately, there is admirable solution to this problem.
With a few tools, thread, wool and a touch of magic you aged and single glove into an at any time joyful chipmunk!

First step:

One Brown glove (I have two),
Stuffing,
Two thick pipe cleaners (cut 1 in half),
Thin yarn or embroidery thrad (dark brown, white, orange, brown, black),

One wooden bead,
Fabric pen (marker),
Scissors,
Needle.

Second step.

Flip the glove inside out, draw lines with the fabric pen as directed in the picture 2, and cut with scissors. After securing each part with a pin, sew along the dotted lines, approximately 3 mm from the seam with brown thread.

Third step.

Flip each part right-side out. Bend all 3 pipe cleaner pieces unto U shapes, and insert the 2 shorter pieces into the legs and the longer piece into the tail. Insert stuffing around the pipe cleaners in the legs and tail, as well as into the body, head, and arms. Do not stuff the ears.

Fourth step.

Use a running stitch and sew the body, arms, and tail, leaving a 5 mm border from the opening. Next, fold the opening inside, and sew the gathered area shut.

Fifth step.

Now you know, how to make a Chipmunk from glove 🙂
Fold the back of the head in the following order: left, right, bottom, then top (like a caramel-candy wrapper), and sew shut.

Sixth step.

Gather the openings of the ears together, and insert them onto the back of the head because sew together.

Seventh step.

Use a backstitch to create stitching with white thread down the middle of the tail. Create the same backstitch in orange and dark brown 1 cm on either side of the white stitching. As a result, we get a great tail!
