This project is part of the felt “installment” projects I promised I’d tell you about before we went on vacation to Cagayan De Oro. I made this for a very special little girl — Gabby. :)

Actually, I was never a fan of plush toys or stuffed toys. I have always seen them as useless toys unlike those that you can actually play with such as little pots and pans for the playhouse. I don’t want to sound mean but when I was a kid, I would always pray they won’t give me a stuffed animal as a gift. I would rather get a toy gun or a little boy’s toy than get a plushie. lol! I remember one Christmas, I fervently asked Santa to give me a white board just like what they have in offices. My Papa brought me and Ino, my brother, to his office one Saturday and I seriously fell in love with the white board.  You can just imagine how elated and giddy I was when I received my first ever white board, marker and eraser. So yeah, I’d rather have something so “adult” like the white board than a plush toy. hahaha!

Plush toys are something I would really do happily for someone else other than myself. :)

I’m not sure if Gabby was really pleased with him but I sure was happy with how eccentrically scary and adorable he looked:

And since I didn’t really know how to make a stuffed toy, I just guessed my way through. (Although I tried so hard (after finishing the plush toy) to make a pattern for all of you which you can download by clicking the download link above. :) ) **I have deleted the download link as I have been confronted by someone about this. I’m sure, just by looking at the plush toy I made, you will be able to “guess” your way and create the needed shapes for your own plush toy :) **

I didn’t even know where to get the stuffing! But then lucky me, I found something fluffy that’s lying around the house!

You know when you buy a watch or wallet or something fragile the store often gives you this box filled with something fluffy like the ones they use to make comforters or heavy and thick blankets all soft and fluffy? You know, the kind that they put inside quilts?

*hold on, lemme Google this one*

Okay, it’s Polyester Fiberfill or something like that. Teehee.

I saw a small jewelry or watch box (I really don’t know) lying around the house with that fluffy thing inside! The amount of fluffy thing is just enough to make a small plush toy so I knew I just had to try making it.

I especially liked the purple button eye of the monster and his two sharp teeth. :)

Have a wonderful week!
