The Pirate Pony

I bought a Butterscotch pony this past summer for $5.00 at a yard sale... Although, she looked nothing like she looks now.
When I first laid eyes on her, this is what I saw... an ear less, tail pulled off and laying on the ground sad-sad looking pony. I just had to rescue her!

First thing I did on this pony make-over was make her some new ears.

I pulled up the huge ponies mane and cut away some of the fabric underneath to use to cover the ponies new ears I was needing to make. I used thick cardboard for the new ears and just hot glued the fur on top. I sheered the long fur off of the ears using scissors held at an angle.

Once the ears were finished I just hot glued them in place. I also hot glued the tail back on, cut away some fur from the ponies eyes and added a rope harness and a fabric saddle blanket. 

 

Here she is in all her glory pulling the small wagon I have in my backyard.

 

I also rescued the colorful parrot, it had both of its feet torn off. I guess kids play rough these days! I made some new feet for the bird using wire, cardboard and some orange felt.

The monkey was another rescue.... although all I rescued the monkey from was a tacky Tarzan outfit.
big hugs,
