I saw this page on Pinterest and knew I had to make it! When Kellan, the recipient of the book, was younger, he loved that song.
I always just figure out my own patterns. I found a picture of a bed and printed it and used that as a pattern. My floor is a piece of corrugated felt. The rug is a scrap of fabric from my stash.
To make the monkeys, I think I found a monkey finger puppet pattern online. I cut out two monkey shapes, for each monkey, then a face and tummy shape for each monkey. Once everything was cut out, I hand sewed around the edges of the two monkey shapes (making sure to leave the bottom open). Then I hand sewed smiles onto the face shape. Then I hot glued the face shape and tummy shape onto the monkey shape. Then I added tiny, sticky googly eyes to each monkey.
The windows are made out of stiffened felt. I cut large squares and then I used a utility knife to cut four small squares into them. The stars are one of my most brilliant finds for this quiet book - scrap booking brads. I found them at Michaels and they add so much charm and dimension! Here is a similar product from Amazon:
