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:

Demyx - [link]
Jing - [link]
Xandir - [link]

Hi Keysha-chan!

I must say that your tutorial was sooooo helpful into assisting me in making my first plushie that is soft! So thanks so much for making and posting this tutorial!

Here's a link to the plushie I made: [link]

I would like to know what are the measurements of felt you used to make this.

KeyshaKitty In reply to JayJayWray [2009-02-04 02:13:06 +0000 UTC]

To be honest, I'm not sure (I'm overseas and don't have any of the felt with me).

JayJayWray In reply to KeyshaKitty [2009-02-04 03:26:17 +0000 UTC]

Could you at least give me the measurement of the toy base. It can be whatever units you want.

KeyshaKitty In reply to JayJayWray [2009-02-04 04:28:16 +0000 UTC]

I don't have any of them with me. They were all made and given to friends.

There's no default size anyway - just go with whatever you like!

I'm faving this since I used it a couple weeks ago to make this: [link]

Thank you so much for making an interesting and easy to follow tutorial! I had a lot less trouble making it then I would have had I just been mucking about trying to make it off the top of my head! My friend loves the plush completely, and I'm really glad something that I could make, made him so happy Thank you!

rawien In reply to ??? [2008-11-18 20:50:44 +0000 UTC]

Wow, our plushies look similar.

Yours turn out so much better than mine... Even though I seem to not follow what you do at all.

Hmm, I am ing this so future reference though! You rock for making a tutorial even though I may not follow it.

o.o
Oh, wow, you live in NZ! (or, you did? or something?)
I'm curious as to which your local Spotlight is- mine's Henderson, and it absolutely is awful.
Their felt selection is miniscule!
I'm considering driving out to Manukau just to check theirs out.. or Wairau Park.
LOL. just told me that you were the Kai-chan that she bought art off at Arma years ago xD
Small world!
