In this indestructable i will demonstrate how to make a cute "critter" plushie from the classic arcade game Doukutsu (by pixel studios)

Step 1 (Fabric)

You need to get some fabric, preferably something soft
the easyest way to get this is to cut apart old t-shirts
the amount of fabric you need will be detirmined by the size of your plushie
also you will need some stuffing

Now you need a design for your plushie
I got mine off the Doukutsu Tribute site Doukutsu Tribute site

Transfer and Cut

Transfer your design to the fabric (i.e. trace it, etc.). Make sure you have the corect number of peces for your design (on mine: front, back, and two ears). then use the rotery cutter and scissors to cut your design out (make sure you leave a 1/4-5/8 inch seam alowance)

Front Design

If your plushie has, for instance, a face, you will need to draw or sew this in now (I recomend using the sharpie)

Sew

This step is pritty simple, you just sew along the outline
(it might help to go to this sewing site-it will show you the basic stiches) be sure to leave a small hole for stuffing

Stuffing

pack the stuffing into the hole you left (do not overfill) till it is full but still soft

Finishing

sew up the hole you put the stuffing in (try using a blind stitch) put anything else on now (e.g. eyes, ears, glue on noses, etc) *notice I missed and you can see the black thread on the left ear, dang*

Enjoy Your Plushie!
