Win a Poofum with Furkidz!

Standard Bunny Poofum R65

Just over a month ago my cousin and I started making felt toys and after one or two people saw them and ordered one of their own we decided to call ourselves "Paisley and Puddles Poofums" and start a little business.

It's been fun and interesting and things are going well. We've made monsters, fruit, bunnies and even a unicorn! The requests just keep coming in (we're not complaining).

Watermelon Poofum R90

Both my partner and I are animal lovers so when the lovely Linda Harding of Furkidz approached us to do a fun competition with them we were more than happy to oblige.

Furkidz is a fantastic platform where potential pet owners can find their forever pet. Instead of buying a puppy or kitten from a store or breeder you could give a previously abused, abandoned or lost animal a loving home.

There are so many gorgeous faces just waiting to be taken home and given kindness, love, care and a safe haven to while away the rest of their loyal days. Please, if you're thinking of adding a furry friend to your family consider adopting one of these little cherubs.

How to enter:
All you need to do is become a follower of Furkidz on Twitter or like the Furkidz Facebook Page.
For an extra entry you can like the Paisley and Puddles Poofum Facebook Page (have a look at our fun, colourful felt creations).

The prize:
Two lucky winners will each win a Poofum of their own made up in two or three of their favourite colours. How cool? We think so!

Good luck!

Competition closes on Monday 22 May so get liking and following!

Nerd Bunny Poofum: The Waller

So we've been making Poofums (felt toys) for almost a week and a half now and the response has been so good! People seem to really dig our toys.

At the moment we've got three orders waiting to be sized and priced (a pillow, a unicorn and a mutant-tortoise - don't ask) and we've got someone waiting for a bunny.

I'm so happily surprised at the feedback we're getting too. I'm especially proud of the latest Poofum bunny we made, the Waller.

He's a lumo-coloured bunny with nerd glasses as his accessory and he's so cute!Am really excited to be doing something super creative with my hands. Have been feeling so stifled of late and finally have a bit of an outlet.

Look out for a new range of felt toys, we're busy putting together ideas for our fruit range. Shout be "cool bananas" as one of my friends said.

In the meantime check out our Facebook page for all the other Poofums available.

Paisley and Puddles Poofums

So my cousin and I have decided to (try) start a new little business making plush/felt toys. It's something we enjoy doing and have had some really great feedback on.

Here are a few of our monster Poofums so far:

 

We're going to be selling them (about 20cm in height) for R80 and bigger ones can be custom-made for an extra cost. Small ones can also be ordered.
