-Directions- (See NOTE for facial features)

Head:
1. Sew the end of one strip of fabric (hair color) to the end of your other strip of fabric (skin color). You should have one long strip of fabric.
2. With RIGHT sides together, sew the strip around one head piece (SKIN COLOR). Make sure that the hair color half in on TOP (above the face) and the skin color half in on the BOTTOM (below the face). I strongly recommend that you pin your strip of fabric to your head piece first before you sew.
3. Sew the other head piece (hair color) to the strip of fabric, with right sides together. Turn the head inside out. Leave a hole at the top big enough so you can stuff it with stuffing. When you are done, sew up the hole.

*The head was not my pattern or idea. The original design comes from Nitanita.

NOTE: There are different ways to do the eyes for your plushie. You can paint the face on with acrylics, use a sharpie (careful it can bleed), use transfer sheets, or print the eyes on with a printer. The method I used for my Yuno Gasai doll was printing. If you are going to print, you MUST do it on your fabric head piece before you start sewing. I will link the tutorial I used here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=7CnTlj…

Body:
1. With right sides together, sew all around your 2 body pieces leaving a hole at the top for stuffing. If you want your plushie to have the flat bottom feet, do not sew the bottom of your plushie's feet. If you do not want the flat bottom feet, just keep sewing around the feet. Turn your plushie inside out to make sure all stitches are secure and there are no holes.

Feet (optional): With your plushie inside out, pin the circles to the bottom opening of the legs. Do not worry about the fabric lining up, there is extra there, just try to do as much as you can. Make sure there are no folds. Do a BASTE stitch around the feet. Turn the plushie inside out to make sure it looks okay. If it doesn't, no big deal, just seam rip the baste stitch and readjust the feet circles. When you finally like your feet, do a secure stitch all around. Turn the plushie inside out and stuff. Make sure to get it nicely compacted but NOT TOO TIGHT or it may rip your plushie over time. Sew up the hole at the top of your plushie body.

Here is another tutorial you can use to help you: www.funkyfriendsfactory.com/bl…

Head to Body: To attach the head to the body, do a simple stitch from one end of the head to the other. The head will not stay up, this is just a security stitch. To make is stay in place, use a glue gun. Glue the head in place all around the plushie until you are happy.

Hair:

Cut out a hair template (I have one for Yuno Gasai and Gaara) from FELT. Glue (hot glue gun) the hair onto your plushie's head. I recommend you secure it first into place to make sure you like it.

Hair template: If you don't have a template for your hair, make one yourself. To do so, trace the doll head piece onto a peice of paper. Draw the shape of the hair you want onto the circle. Make sure it is somewhat large. Cut the outline of the hair out and place it on your plushies head to make sure you like it. If you don't, redo it. If you do, go ahead and cut the pattern out of felt and glue in on.

I hope everyone will be able to follow this. If my directions were terrible please ask me questions I would love to help. XD
