If I want a Hippopotamus for Christmas is one of the songs that sticks in your head, sew a tree full of cute miniature felt hippos in various costumes for your holiday decorating. At just three inches tall, this little hippo makes a great decoration, and these simple clothes instructions can be used to make a range of easy costumes from felt or other fabrics.

- Easy Sew Doll Dress
- Easy Wrap Skirt or Doll Dress
- Wings and Dress for a Miniature Fairy
- Simple Vest
- Santa Hat
- Pirate Hat
- Cowboy Hat
- Printable Brimmed Hat
Although the hippopotamus is the easiest animal to sew, and a good project for a beginning hand sewer, the Miniature Polar Bear and the Poseable Miniature Mouse are great for ornaments as well, and take roughly the same size clothes as the hippo.
