Crinkly Baby Paper in 10 minutes!

My son loves to play with plastic bags, and although I know I have to take it away
I feel bad since he enjoys it so much. 
So I made some crinkly "paper" that he can chew on and play with without the risk.  
I gave him the "paper" and he smiled and put in straight into his mouth!  Success!
We went outside for a picture of the slobbery fun, and this is what I got.  I guess the sky and trees are more interesting than I thought. 
Then I decided maybe the porch would have fewer distractions.  I was wrong.
So despite my efforts to get a nice picture here it is. 
* All I did was cut two rectangles of fabric, in this case I used guitar print flannel and brown cotton.
* Empty a bag of cereal and use the plastic bag for the crinkle sound.  Cut a rectangle the same size as your fabric.
* Layer them plastic first, fabric 1 right side up, fabric 2 right side down. 
* Sew around the edge leaving a small opening for turning. 
* Turn right side out and sew the opening closed.

It turned out great! Thin and flexible, and makes a nice loud crinkle that my son loves!
