Heyo! I'm Tara otherwise known as Terry. Pronouns She/her. 25 years old. Im into PKM, Marvel, DC, Supernatural, and Anime Bleach and Fantastic Beast series
A VERY thrown together tutorial/walk-through of how I made my very own Brush Buddy
Hey guys!! Some folks wanted me to make a guide on my brush buddy, so here goes nothing! First, the materials used are primarily stuff I had already lying around, and it’s 100% recycled materials.
Everything will be below the cut!
Materials used:
~ articulated doll “skeleton”, (mine came from a pose able cat tail buttplug) but you can find them here
~ crafting wire, I used two different thicknesses. (12g,24g)
~ sewing thread & needle
~ plastic wrap/saran wrap
~ duct tape
~ needle-nose pliers or anything to help bend the wire
~ white crafting felt
~ batting
~ fur fabric, we used a short pile fabric that was lying around
~ HOT GLUE GUN (my beloved)
ALRIGHT, HERE WE GO.
I didn’t take many initial pictures (sorry!)- but I used a 12g wire to wrap them around the skeleton for his arms and legs, and then on top of that thicker wire base I wrapped some 24g wire around to “strengthen” them.
I also made his toes from the thinner wire!
From here I cut strips of crafting felt, like the picture below. The thin strips made it easier to wrap and glue around the body.
From this point, my husband took over and bulked up the rest of his body with strips of batting (like quilting batting)
No photos of the paws/feet, but we wrapped embroidery thread around his feet to cover the wire- not too thick though so his feet remain articulated!
Here’s after he was wrapped in batting! Now onto patterning the fur out! We used the tried and true Saran Wrap and duct-tape method and it helped us make sure his legs weren’t super bulky.
The body was done in a similar fashion, but it was mostly just a tube of fur!
(Photo max hit 😭)
The last two photos are just my husband putting the eyes on and sewing him up! And Voila- Brush Buddy!!
I’m not sure how helpful this will be for folks, but this was mostly just a labour of love and ADHD hyperfixation + ignoring my chores lol.
If y’all have any questions or need clarification please do not hesitate to send me a message or an ask!
I rarely use Tumblr but it’s easier to link to than a Twitter thread. Here’s a quick runthrough of how I made Lea’s Flame Liberator Keyblade from KH3 (the one in DDD has a different handle, it’s not round like the KH3 one is).
Here’s some ref images:
Let’s get started! I modeled the handle myself, however I’m just not good enough at organic modelling to make the blade. I’m still working on it, and will upload it to Thingiverse when it’s finished. It went from idea to completion in just under a month, so I didn’t have too long to spend trying to model the blade.

Becca pointed out to me that in an early episode of Gravity Falls, The Legend of the Gobblewonker, Stan has a licence plate with “Stanley Mobile” on it. (“STNLYMBL”)
Which is rather strange, considering Stan’s full name is Stanford.
I’ve seen theories, or perhaps just headcanons, floating around that Stan is a twin. Stan must have (or must have had) a sibling who is Dipper and Mabel’s grandmother or grandfather. Twins often run in the family, and “Stanley” and “Stanford” sounds like a cute pair of names for twin boys.
I don’t know if those idea are substantiated or not. I don’t know if the family will ever be touched on or if they’re significant at all, but it seems like a pretty weird error to make for the animator to confuse “Stanley” with “Stanford”
please end me. i can't cope with this cursed fangirling of mine. i want to cry but i cannot. i love twst so much i hate it. I HATE BEING OBSESSED LIKE THIS IT'S SO HORRIBLY UNcoMFORTABLE. (how tf do kpop stans survive like this)
