Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Preparing the Pieces

Start by printing and cutting out your dog plush pattern. Transfer each piece to the corresponding felt color: grey for the body, white for the face and ears. Don’t forget to cut out small pieces for the ears, nose, mouth, and tongue.

Step 2: Assembling the Body

Take the front and back body pieces and sew them together, leaving the bottom edge open. You can use a sewing machine or stitch by hand with a simple backstitch.

Turn the sewn body right side out and stuff it with synthetic filling until it feels soft and plush. Finally, close the opening at the bottom using a ladder stitch for a seamless finish.

Step 3: Adding the Details

Now it’s time to give your husky some personality!

1. Attach the white face piece to the front of the body using glue.
2. Using glue, attach the white ear pieces to the grey ear pieces. Secure the ears on top of the head with small stitches or glue.
3. Place the plastic craft eyes into position.
4. Attach the nose, the mouth, and the tongue using glue.

For extra charm, you can draw on blush or add tiny eyebrows using a marker for a playful expression.

Step 4: Making the Red Scarf

The scarf is what transforms this plush into a festive favorite!

1. Cut a long strip of red felt.
2. Make small cuts along the edges to create a fringe.
3. Wrap it around the husky’s neck and either tie it or secure it with glue.

General Tips for Choosing Materials for Simple Toys

Choosing the right materials is key to creating soft beautiful toys. Here are a few tips to help you pick the ideal materials for your cute and simple toys:

1. Felt
   Felt is one of the most popular materials for making toys. It is soft and pleasant to the touch and does not require additional edge finishing, as it does not fray. You can choose felt in different colors that are easy to cut and sew. Due to its density and availability, felt is perfect for simple toys like dogs or bears.
2. Synthetic Filling
   Synthetic filling, such as hollow fiber, is commonly used to stuff toys. This material is lightweight, hypoallergenic, and keeps its shape well. It adds softness, and volume, and helps toys maintain their form over time. It’s easy to use and ideal for beginners since it doesn’t require special skills.
3. Eyes for Toys
   Eyes give toys expression and personality. Round black beads are perfect for simple toys as they can be easily glued or sewn on. They create a lively, expressive look and give the toy a finished appearance. You can choose beads in various sizes depending on the effect you want to achieve.
4. Fabrics for Clothing and Accessories
   If you want to add clothing or accessories to your toy, choose soft and easy-to-sew fabrics. Cotton or felt are great materials for clothing and accessories like scarves, hats, or shoes. These fabrics are not only attractive but durable, ensuring the clothing will stay on the toy for a long time.
5. Sewing Threads and Glue
   For most toys, regular sewing threads are sufficient. However, for small details or accessories, you can use a glue gun. The glue helps attach tiny elements, such as ribbons or buttons, more neatly and quickly. It also makes the process more convenient.
6. Decorative Elements
   To give your toy uniqueness, use various decorative elements like small buttons, ribbons, bows, or even faux fur. These can be used to create clothes, shoes, or accessories, giving your toy a special look.
