Missy Kissy Slinky Stair Walking Toy
Missy Kissy: I've no real reason for naming this creation Missy Kissy. It's just that the lips are in the shape of a heart which make me think of puckering up for a kiss and with the wiggle eyes and ring on her feet...well, it just has to me a miss and not a Mr doesn't it?
Anyway, as you can see I took a jumbo plastic Slinky and crochet around it with fun fur eyelash yarn. It's not as hard as it sounds. Once you get started it goes fairly fast.
I only used one skein of yarn and then stretched it out to cover as much of the Slinky as possible and removed the remaining Slinky spring. I was able to cut it with scissors, but don't use your best pair!
Next I added felt feet, eyes and mouth and even a ring for one of her toes!
Wiggle eyes made the look
complete. There is a slit from the bottom of the eyes to about the wiggle eye. When split apart it is glued to either side of a spring. And you are done.
Best of all, if you stretched your yarn out enough and only ended up clipping off a few of the springs it will still walk down the stairs much like a Slinky of old, but funnier!
I made two, this jumbo one and a smaller one. You can find the pattern on my site along with the patterns for the felt.
Oh yea, about what I did with the left over springs.
Now you know I couldn't leave them alone, right?
I made this belt. It reminds me of a 1960's brass ring belt. I cut the rings apart so that I had continuous circles and then crochet the connectors.Each connector was then sewn around a ring until I had enough for a belt.
I haven't had the nerve to wear it though!

I Love Slinkies!
I Love Slinkies!
I love the way they feel in your hands.
I love the way they make noise when you let them slink (slink?) from hand to hand.
I especially love how when I was a kid they would drive my brother nuts from the noise they made.
Sure, I didn't HAVE to slink my Slinky constantly, but what else could I do? It's addicting!
At least to me anyway.
Anyone else feel that way?

Slink-A-Saurus!
My latest free pattern that features a slinky in its design.
As you can see, the dinosaur's back is the slinky. His red points are all wond onto the slinky and pushed to its center.
He also features a spiked tail, lower jaw, tiny red button eyes and red feet pads.
Made using Red Heart Super Saver yarns and size H crochet hook.
The pattern is free!
