Plushie Tutorial

[Samantha Omputer]

I don't know if you mentioned it anywhere, but uh.
If I wanted to sew a head onto a body, how would I do that?
You know, like a snowman almost. (Just as an example, I'm not making a snowman.)

 

[chamo-chan]

I have a question too!
What is your advice for making Lugia?

 

[VampirateMace]

Take the ends of the fabric of the head and the body and then sew them together from the inside of the plushie...

Unless it is quite large don't acturally cut individual fingers/toes... don't make anything to thin... Er... fabric eyes I should think... yup...

 

[Bernkastel]

Could you maybe please make a video tutorial on youtube or something on how to make oddish? Cause I think it'd be alot easier to understand than all this.. oval talk XD. Seriously though it's a good idea.

 

[VampirateMace]

I may at some point, but right now I don't have the time... it takes a while to make plushies...

 

[Bernkastel]

Aww okay. I'm gonna try making Oddish in the mean time. Wish me luck~

EDIT: How do i attach the leaves to Oddish's head? I had some trouble but I'll try your reccommendations next time.

EDIT: I finished, it looks rubbish though and is deliberately no lifesize. I'll get a pic up ASAP.

 

[PurpleMew]

This looks way cool i might try and make myself one

 

[Bernkastel]

How do I do anime-style eyes such as jigglypuff's? I need to finish my new plushie by valentines XD.

 

[VampirateMace]

Well, I normal subsitute buttons for eyes, but you could make each eye out of three peices of felt, layering them so that they look an eye. Make sure to use thread that is the same color as the eye, because it's going to have to show. You could also buy some gigantic googly eyes, but I don't recommend that.

Can you make kinda a template for a gallade plusie?

 

[chamo-chan]

Hey.....I have a suggestion,
can you make a Pikachu plush template?
You don't if you don't want to though.

 

[VampirateMace]

MB, CC... I'll consider both requests, I am busy though so don't feel bad if it never happens.

OK thanks for at least taking it into consideration. Hope you can make them

 

[Verona]

I make plushies of tshirts! LOL!

 

[chamo-chan]

^
You Do?
I've heard of people doing that before.
Maybe I should try it.

 

[Eclipse]

Hey, this is great! What do you recommend for Unown?

 

[VampirateMace]

Same sorts of stuff as ussual, don't make the 'legs' too thin, so that you'll be able to turn them inside in... perhapes stuffing pipe-cleaners into the 'legs' for support.. Mini unknown plushies may be one of the only times I'd say googly eyes are appropriate...

Googly eyes do sound good for Unown.
oh, I made a Pichu Plushie over Spring Break.
Will put up picture soon.

If you do a regular size unown then you'll need some big googly eyes. Hooray for the googly!

 

[VampirateMace]

Biggest Googly eyes I've found are about an inch wide...
