I’m always looking for unique gifts for my kids teachers for the Holidays. I also try to make something handmade. The mascot of my sons school is the bulldog. I searched HIGH and LOW for a cute Amigurumi bulldog pattern and I finally found one that I fell in love with here:

I bit the bullet and bought the pattern. Her pattern is easy to follow and very intricate. It’s fantastic. I highly recommend using them.
Here is a link to her site:
http://www.np-trade.de/ – It’s in German, but of course you can translate.
The schools colors are Purple and Yellow and the mascot is grey.
I made 2 little bulldogs for his teachers. I finished them off with little purple cat collars that I got at Petsmart.
I had personalized dog tags made at Petco on Purple hearts
On the front of the tags I put his teachers names and on the back my son’s name and the year.
Additionally, since it’s a Catholic school — I added a very nice St. Joseph medal that I got from www.rosarymart.com
I hope his teachers like the gift. I think they came out adorable. They are both very different even though from the same pattern. Just like 2 dogs from the same litter don’t look the same.
I used I Love this Yarn from Hobby Lobby — each bulldog takes almost an entire skein.
I also used safety eyes and noses instead of crocheting them.
So cute and so thoughtful…I love the finishing touches with the tags x
Those are really cute!
