Celebrate the Holidays- Mr Potato Head Style!!

I have been dying to make a Mr Potato Head out of felt ever since Christmas time. I saw the idea at Make it and Love it and thought it was brilliant. Well yesterday I finally got around to it and here are the results...




I briefly read over these directions here and went to work.

After finishing, I really wanted to add something elso to it. For those of you who don't know me, I go nuts over all the holidays, I just love them. So... I decided to give my Mr Potato Head some festive parts...
here are some for Valentines Day


And then some for St Patricks Day (one of my favorite holidays I might add)


Here is how they looked on....

What do you think??

I loved adding the extra pieces and think it will be a fun way to celebrate the holiday. Don't worry, Easter and 4th of July pieces are in the works.... I hope to have them for all the holidays. Check back for them soon!!
By that time I probably should think of making him a wife!!! Let me know if you make one!!
