Fawn Crafts: Pool Deck

Hey there! Welcome back to the Olivia and Rosie blog! Today’s blog will detail on designing an inground pool for your Fawn! Fawns like ones from Aurora Hollow cannot be exposed or submerged to water, so this pool design will help your Fawn enjoy an amazing day at a pool without any risk! 

I found this craft from the Build-A-Bear Vacation Fun book, which was a crafts book that could only be found via a subscription to the Beariffic Friends Club and having it mailed to your house. I got the book second hand at a thrift store back in New Jersey, but I’ve since gotten rid of it. There is no archive of the pages online. Thankfully, an eBay user that goes by the name happy_mail_happy_life was able to send me the pages of the craft instructions, and I can now share this tutorial to all Fawn Moms! 

You Need:

• Tape

• 2 sheets of blue construction paper or large blue poster board

• Scissors

• Glue stick

• Large sheet of card stock or poster board (any color)

• Markers and crayons

Making your Fawn’s Personal Pool Deck

1. Tape the two sheets of construction paper together so that they make one big sheet. Use scissors to cut out a swimming pool shape. Alternatively, you can make a bigger pool shape with large blue poster board

2. Smear glue on one side of the paper pool. Stick the pool to the card stock or poster board.

3. Make the stone border of the pool by using a sharpie. Then, you can use markers or crayons to decorate the rest of the pool deck however you like. For instance, if you’d like a summer or beach theme, draw beach balls, or floatie rings. If you’d like to opt for a northwoods and Great Wolf Lodge themed pool deck instead, it would have wolf tracks, or trees. Anything you think your Fawn will enjoy will work too! What I did was just the stone border of the pool with the Fawn Friends symbol in the corner. This is so that if you are using it for multipurpose ways, the pool can look generic. 

As a bonus, I will place the original instructions below so you can use it for any stuffed animal. I wouldn’t want to gatekeep such a rare craft tutorial that has no documentation online. If you’d like to use it for something other than a Fawn or Build-A-Bear plush, craft away! Again, credit happy_mail_happy_life on eBay for the images, otherwise the tutorial would have been lost to time! Thanks for reading the article, and get creative for your amazing little Fawn!
