graduation gift: tiny graduate narwhals in college colors

tiny narwhal graduates in custom college colors

I’ve been playing with fleece swatches and tiny stitches for weeks, and I’m finally ready to announce: tiny graduate narwhals in custom college colors!

These are so fun to make. The bright colors bring the tiny narwhals to a new level: each pairing of hues gives the little guys an entirely unique personality.

I started with my home state, Virginia, with Virginia Tech facing off UVA in the banner photo. But who’s next? I can’t wait to make these in every shade of the rainbow.

The graduation narwhals make a great gift for college grads, of course, but I think they might be even better suited for high school graduates who can spend the summer scheming and dreaming with a college-colored narwhal by their side. They probably already have enough t-shirts from their future alma mater – and if they don’t, they’ll get more for free when fall comes. What they don’t have is a tiny narwhal with a graduation cap.

I’m joining Marie for wiwo wednesday (What I’m Working On). I always love to see what my favorite crafters are up to, and in-progress shots often tell an even better story than the finished product.

Narwhal season is ramping up, and my coffee table is the current Narwhal Factory HQ. I’m churning out the standard gray-and-gray cuties, but also experimenting with some new things. We’ll see where this goes… I’m of the opinion that all narwhal experiments end adorably.

(in case you’re new, here’s where to order the plush narwhals.)

the perfect graduation gift: narwhal with a graduation cap

nothing says Congrats, Grad like a tiny narwhal with a graduation cap.

I’ve had graduation on my mind lately. And when the idea to make a tiny Graduation Narwhal popped into my head, I couldn’t shake it.

So here he is, a very intelligent narwhal. He’s so proud to wear his cap. Of course, it pins on… so when graduation day is over, the cap can be easily removed.

“Hi.”

I couldn’t resist taking a class photo… because what good is a graduation cap if it doesn’t go airborne?

The tiny narwhals with graduation caps are available in the Fluffyland Shop. Quantity is limited, since I don’t have too much time to spare… but I had to make a few, since they’re just too adorable.

Hopefully now that this idea’s out of my head, I can finally finish the last of my homework (ever!) !
