Pattern, Materials and Instructions below read more !
little chud pattern
Materials:
White and black thread and needle
Light grey marker (forgot to add to the image sorry!!!)
Liquid silicone glue or hot glue
Little bit of paint of ANY kind. white and black. i used kids craft paint
Stuffing of any kind. i gutted a dollar store plush!
Blue button for his eye
Clay or cold porcelain for his other eye
Felt in the colors:
White
Black
Red
Pink
Yellow
Tan (skintone)
Purple
Baby Blue
Brown
Optionally, a shoelace or ribbon of some kind if you want him to be hangable
Disclaimer! you really really dont need much felt for this project, print the pattern first and buy accordingly!
Instructions:
Cut out all the pieces, use the placement guide to make sure you got everything! it should look vaguely like this. Use the grey marker to draw the pinstripes on his suit
2. Start gluing layers. pretty much 90% of him is glued! easy as hell, you dont need to sew anything yet
liquid silicone is very strong on felt, and very fast drying so be careful with this step (i messed up and put his scar upside down on his front!!! dont be like me!!!)
3. Make and attach his mouth.
To make his mouth, take a square of red felt a little wider than his mouth hole, fold it in half and sew it by the sides. if you feel its too deep before sewing, cut it!!! make it as deep or as shallow as you deem appropriate
once you have the pocket made, carefully put glue on the opening, and glue it to his mouth hole
4. Eyes!!!!
To make his right eye, mix a bit of black paint into your clay (i used cold porcelain) and form it into a bit of a squished circle, when its dry, glue it down. Doesnt need to be perfect, but dont make it too flat.
Then cut a slit in a pink felt circle and stretch it over the clay, snip the edges of the pink until you feel it looks nicely rounded, and glue it over the clay
For his left eye, i like gluing down the sides of the button so it doesnt move, and then just simple stitch it into the felt.
You should be left with something like this so far
5. Sew!!!!
Start by blanket stitching the two halves of his body together, but stop before the head, you wanna stuff his body at this step!
After you get his body done, start stitching both sides of his head, but stop a little bit after his tufts so he can be stuffed.
This is also the point where you would grab a piece of shoelace or ribbon, make a loop with it, and glue it to his head if you want him to be hangable, otherwise you can just skip it. then you can just stuff him and close him up!
6. Bandolier
Every franco is personalized, so i opted to not put this piece in the pattern and explain it instead.
Just cut a long thin strip of brown felt and pose it how you want it to sit on your franco, the just cut the excess and glue the two pieces together
7. Mouthhh
Mix a little bit of white paint with you clay and shape it into teeth, again, they dont need to be perfect, were making franco!!! wait until they dry and glue them to his mouth with his tongue
8. YOURE DONE!!!!!
have your own franco to do whatever the fuck you want with
Please dont repost/use without credit and all that jazz, and feel free to tag me if anyone tries to make him, im so curious!!! lol
