Thanks for posting these! I made this last month for a baby shower!

I couldn't find a cheap rattle to put inside, so I just got a 35mm film canister and filled it with some beads and taped it shut. Cheap rattle!

I crocheted  6 squares using back loops only then crocheted them together and then using a pingpong ball to make a rattle I cut an X in the pingpong ball and stuffed in a few jingle bells then taped up the ball put poy-fill around the pingpong ball and put that inside the block and finshed sewing together and makes a nice rattle sound. Looks like this:

nice! this is awesome..I was just looking at a pair of "car dice" and thinking how easy it would be to make......the homemade rattle idea is awesome too..GO YOU!

so cute!
definitely keeping it in mind for some bubs i know on the way
are the blocks sewn together or simply knotted, like in a no-sew blanket style?

This is such a great idea! You've inspired me to make some cool Christmas gifts for a couple of guys that are hard to craft for....Fuzzy Dice!!!

Don't know why I hadn't thought of it before.....they're both very much into cars and this would be great for them.

Thanks for the inspiration!
