Oh, Lyle! You’re so cute.
Lyle the Lion upcycled stuffed t-shirt toy from The Snuggle Herd.
Austin, Texas artist Beth Hempton creates the animals that make up The Herd. She notes that Lyle’s body is made from a light orange t-shirt, and he’s also machine washable!
Whenever possible I live in t-shirts, so of course I get the name of Beth’s company — The Snuggle Herd! Check out her other equally cuddly upcycled creations: Elsa the Elephant, Zandra the Zebra and Ginny the Giraffe.
