I have been making plushies.. Oh so many Plushies! So i have decided to dedicate this post to teaching you how to make them!
Now first you need a few things:
Felt
Needles
Glue
Scissors
Ideas
Ok! so now you have some felt colour and you wanna make something! First you'll need a pattern!
Here are a few good ones!
This is the pattern for a simple chibi plushie, nothing too big or too small.
Now, you take your pattern and use it to cute out the same shape in the cloth, then you sew it and flip it inside out. Then just stuff it and sew the body together and you are done!
Ok now you have a body, what do you do?
I find that clothing and hair go next. depending on your choice clothing will be easier or harder. Sometimes I find that making the body the same colour as the jeans you want your character to wear is the best choice.
If not the i use the body to cut out the pattern for the clothes and I try as best I can to fit them over my little plush. This [link] is a pretty good tutorial on how to make plushie hair.
No once you are done with that work on the face, do you want complicated detailed face or just simple eyes? What accessories doe the character have? a staff? a necklace? I keep a few random items (play dough, wire, paint) at hand to make such things.
This is a simple explanation, I'll be adding pictures later but for now ill just show you a few that I've made and then add some better ones for each step.
