#plush customization

[woodpeckermarbles]

And here’s the final product!

I’ll be honest, this was not what I envisioned for this guy. BUT! He still turned out great! He didn’t melt, which was my main worry. Now that I’ve gotten over that fear, I can definitely see myself customizing more in the future!

Notes from the experience for my future reference.

It took three hours to get the water to the correct temperature. You can crank it close to medium just watch it closely.

Look into different liquid detergent. I think the one I used impacted the color.

Open from the stomach, or back if possible. Too small of a hole makes unstuffing and restuffing a headache.

And that’s that!

This year I learned how to do something new... I figured out how to change eyes on plushies! I'm really proud of myself for this.

These are all the ones I switched eyes on. I learned a lot from each plush!

Read more about what I learnt below the cut :3

The first one, Lily (pink eyes), taught me to be careful! I ended up injuring my finger while trying to remove her eyes... It still hurts 3 months later lol. She also helped me practice sewing, and now I sew better!

The second one, Usagi (green/red eyes), taught me that it's important to watch where the stuffing goes. Her muzzle barely has any stuffing now bc I forgot to put it back in 😭

The third one is Jon (green eyes)! He taught me that sewing correctly is super important, especially when you have white thread and you're sewing black fabric.

The fourth one, Zoe (purple eyes), helped me learn patience and caution. His eyes were harder than normal to get out! I had to be very patient AND careful which was tricky.

Hello hello! So remember that headcanon design I made about Watcher having a mortal form post apotheosis ? I decided to try my hand at plushie customization so I wanted to make them real! I used a bootleg watcher plush as a base (don't worry no official plushies were harmed during the making of this funny guy)

Admittedly, while it's not perfect by any means, especially the tail feathers and the additional hands.. I didn't have the right colors for the additional hands so they look especially funky) I feel for a first time plushie customizer I did pretty decently :]

SPAMTON CUSTOM IS DONE!!!!!! :D

I made him some patches out of felt, tooth gap, connected his jaw line, added some sparkle to his glasses+blush, and most importantly, PUT A SQUEAKER INSIDE HIM!!

I've had this dragon for almost a year, and despite being very excited to get her beforehand, I've been having a difficult time bonding with her.

Today I decided to customize her a little bit to make her more to my liking. I added stuffing to her neck, trimmed around her eyes and nose, and sewed her crooked ears down. Then I made jewelry for her neck and her tail. She is looking so pretty and special now. I'm thinking of simply naming her Spring 🌷

Finally done customizing my cat Hawkeye plushie! Wooo!!

(I had to replace his eyes and give him clothes)

Gave Ludo new eyes (top is before, bottom is after). I liked his original eyes, but they were kind of small for his face. I may change them back, but giving myself some time to adjust to these and see if I like them more. They're so pretty, but they do make him look less angy. They are incredibly pretty though.

Day twelve: electric

My Mothra plush that I patched and turned into a bag! I still need to decide on a handle(s) for her.

She is herself electric, but I also embroidered her antennae with blue lightning to fix a tear she had
