OK, here goes my first tutorial
Taggy cubes are brilliant for babys who love to twiddle with tags. You can add satin, grosgrain and even suede ribbons to these cubes to create the ultimate stimulation for babies and toddlers. They are super easy to make and with the help of my tutorial, what is stopping you?
Ingredients...
Repeat this for the next two squares, remembering to tuck your ribbon loops in.
Sew the fifth square to the top of the second square. The lines will aline with the squares already sewn.
Sew up the two sides together. It should look something like this.
Now repeat this for all other sides until you have just one side remaining.
You can sew this side, but you will need to leave a 2 inch gap for turning.
Now turn it out the right way round, poke all the corners out and stuff with polyfill. Slip stich the opening you used to fill the cube with closed and you are done. Phew! Now go give it to that special baby in your life.
This is my first tutorial, if there is anything I have forgotten or you feel I could improve on I would be very greatful if you could let me know! Thanks for stopping by :-)

Mark half an inch from the edge of all sides, on the wrong side of the fabric.
Pin together two squares with right sides facing, with your ribbon loop/s between each piece. Sew along the line we marked starting and finishing at the cross points. Don't forget to back stitch at each end to secure and prevent unravelling. It should look like this...
