Felt Craft Twinkie Snack Cake Pattern

 They're back... and we're celebrating that creme-filled snack cake with a few new goodies. Today's project is a felt embroidery craft, so you'll need some felt, embroidery floss and fluff to stuff. You can make these little guys into keychains or gift tags, magnets or even ornaments. Feel free to enlarge the pattern and make a plush or pillow!
