if i posted art for it and it's not listed here, then there's a chance I'm not in that fandom anymore... sawry :(
hey so like if i suddenly stop posting for more than a month its not because i stopped drawing, it's because tumblr is getting banned in the philippines for being a gambling site (??????????)
i can still access it rn and apparently there's workarounds. but like. just in case it stops working, yall know ๐ฅน๐ฅน๐ฅน
hi!!!!! i just wanted to say you're one of my fav celeste artists ever actually,, i didnt realize you were on tumblr!!! i saw ur celeste dollies again and i just wanted to ask, how did you make them? theyre so cute i want to try making ones for myself!! ๐๐
Thank you very much!!! ;v;
As for how I make plushie, I learned it from PiyoPicco ! she provides so many detailed step by step plushie tutorial videos to the point that i don't think i have to explain anything lol (but i will summarize it for you instead!) go check her videos out!
and if you are very serious about this, i recommend getting her Book as well! (there is E-book version), this one is specifically for Beginner (i used this a lot while making Madeline and Badeline plushies)
PS. it's all in japanese but translation app translates it well enough for me to successfully make my own plushies!
--
Need a bit of headstart? i drew this Very Brief Summary of How to make Plushie!
Hope this can at least help you picturing the overall process! (maybe๐)
by the way, I recommend practice with this naked bald baby like this first before you start sewing your fav for real!!!
And here are Free Body Patterns by MiNi็ๅญ (they have 10, 15 and 20 cm plushie pattern that you can print on A4 and use it right away, thank you MiNi็ๅญ !) I practiced with this pattern first too, using PiyoPicco's videos as a guide(i think she used this pattern in some of her videos)
As for my plushies, here are some fun behind-the-scene pics!
My rough draft, mostly just decide the design and colors
Clean face design that will be used for when i embroider it on the fabric
(tip: there are many ways to make the plushie's face not just embroidery, some may use buttons, sew felt fabric on it, etc, pick what you prefer!)
below are mostly pics i posted here before but in case you have never seen it
Happy :3 and Ready to become a plushie
I use "Minky fabric", a very soft fabric that you will definitely see being used in a lot of plushie these days (it has many fur's length you can choose)
Evil and Fuck up
Flat
Evil and Flat
Stuffing (nnngggghhhhhrrrrrr)
Complete! you may notice her chin is wrinkled a bit, this is because i didn't adjust the stuffing around that area well enough (and probably sewed it not as neatly as it should be), make sure you do it well (i fixed this later)
but wait!
I make clothes for them too! using hoodie pattern by ใซใผใณ (but change it a bit to look like the cloth they actually wear)
and their pants using socks following this PiyoPicco's video
and ALL DONE!!!!!๐๐๐
Bonus
Choly Knight has many free plushie patterns(and paid) with clear instruction to help you practice, i recommend looking into this too
Plush Artists United FB group, so many professional plush artists are in here and they always eager to share tips and tricks on making plushies!
OH MY GOD thank you so much for this detailed response!! so sorry i didnt see this sooner, i just recently finished my first year of college (which was so draining ๐ญ) and this ask slipped from my mind!!
me and my friend plan to save money for materials to make our favs into plushies :33 if ever we finish it soon i might send some pics of how it looks!!
thank you again btw!! behind the scenes maddie and baddie are so cute ๐๐
