Description I've had several people ask how I make the little, 'flat' felt plush toys I upload every now and again, so here's a tutorial explaining the basics.

These plush toys are very fun and easy to make - as well as cheap. So if you're new to plush toys, these might be a good start if you want to work your way up. I hope the tutorial is at least easy enough to follow.

Here's finished versions of plush toys I've made using these steps:

Do you have any suggestions of fabrics I could use for plushies that aren't strictly for display?

AnnaGloriaCool [2012-01-08 18:00:26 +0000 UTC]

do you think i can just sew the hair on the head? cuz i have no idea how to use a hot glue gun and my parents would kill me if i would '^^

KeyshaKitty In reply to AnnaGloriaCool [2012-01-08 19:31:49 +0000 UTC]

There's absolutely no reason why you can't. I just use the glue gun because it means it can all fix on/sit in the place I want it to without the stitches showing.

AnnaGloriaCool In reply to KeyshaKitty [2012-01-08 20:12:32 +0000 UTC]

Oooh. One more thing, do need to make cross-stitches or can i sew it like in, over to the opposite side where i put the needle in and back in again? Sorry if i'm being confusing...

would like to know what paint you use for he eyes and boots along with the gloves.. is it washable?

KeyshaKitty In reply to HeatherMason76 [2011-06-29 23:27:44 +0000 UTC]

Acrylic and fabric paints. Frabric paints can be washed, not sure about acrylic (you don't want to wash felt plushies anyway).
