Description
I've had several people ask how I make the little, 'flat' felt plush toys I upload every now and again, so here's a tutorial explaining the basics.These plush toys are very fun and easy to make - as well as cheap. So if you're new to plush toys, these might be a good start if you want to work your way up. I hope the tutorial is at least easy enough to follow.
Here's finished versions of plush toys I've made using these steps:

so cute but I wanna know, from step 5 to step 6, how do you stuff him, and what did you use to make it so bump-less?

i think she just stitched really close together and stuffed pretty tight. you could use like the eraser side of a pencil to pack the stuffing tight (what i used). i've only made one plushie, unfortunately i gave him to someone else...

I can generally stuff most parts of the body with an index finger, though for limbs I try using a thick handled paint-brush. :3

Just one question... i'm not too sure how you make the eyes. A little help?

Um....you draw up a rough plan of how you want them to look and then paint them onto the felt. X3 That's all the help I can really offer.
