This newspaper tip is genius! I kept trying to wing it and imagine what it would look in 3D, but it never worked out. I'll try this next time I make something :3!

Going to try this out.
Last plush pattern I made ended up wasting a good bit of paper and fabric... This'll probably be much faster too. ^ ^;
Thanks much for sharing!!

I'll be looking everywhere fr a way to a plushie head fr a doll with a cute nose (like pupkachoo's armature dollies) and I think this it's the stuff I need tp create the heads I'm envisioning....

If you were to make a small version of what you want to plush and then enlarge your pieces, would that work?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yes, but this is better if you are going to make a really big plushie, and make the pattern in a medium size model, if you make the pattern too small you may lose detail or end with a weird final product.

I'll keep that in mind. Most of the detail can be planned out after the body is done. It's a giant lump pretty much!
Thank you for the answer! :3

Thank you so much!I have been looking for ages for a realistic octopus pattern, now I can make one.
Is regular tape ok or is it important to use masking tape (and why)?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
i think masking tape is better to draw the lines, but you can use any kind of tape

Your tut is super fantastic!! Thanks so much for posting this - I've already used it twice and it's been a major learning tool. See pic here. Thanks again!

Interesting! I've been trying this myself, but with a clay sculpture model - letting it dry - making seam marks etc. and using scotch tape on top. Works pretty similar.

would it be possible to just make a small scale model of the plushie, so that when you get the pattern you can just resize it to make it bigger? :33

yes, i did that when i made a giant manatee.

hmmm, I gotta try this. Had an idea though, do you think using some old towels or rags would work better than newspaper? Might be easier to shape and more reusable as well. Just a thought.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
i never tried that, but i dont think it will be easyer to shape,some times i use plastic bags,it's easyer than newspaper, but it works better for small projects since they dont make so much volume that the newspaper

Great tute for a beginner pattern maker. It helps you understand how to make the shapes your eye sees. Really good job.

ah brilliant. this is going to help me so much. i tried making a pattern from scratch and my thing looks like a frankenstein's monster... in a bad way.

That makes a lot more sense then I thought it it was done in my mind. I'll be trying this method.
