Hi! If it isn't a problem, do you have any tips for beginners on how to make plushies? I saw a post of yours where you made a Scarecrow doll and wanted to have a go at making one but I have no clue where to start. Anything helps!
Oh golly! Honestly, just start wherever feels easiest for you, there's no right or wrong way to do it!
If you want structure, YouTube has tons of beginner tutorials and free patterns you can follow for sewing and crocheting. But if that feels a little overwhelming, you can totally just grab an existing plush with the shape you like and either sew or hot glue fabric directly over it, and turn it into your own design! That's basically how I made my Scarecrow Labubu doll. If sewing's not your thing, hot glue is your best friend!
Personally, I love needle felting! It's super beginner friendly, really forgiving if you make a mistake and a little therapeutic to just stab something over and over. You can even needle felt directly onto an existing fabric plush to save on time and materials. It honestly feels like painting, but with wool and a giant needle.
But mostly just have fun with it! Experiment a little with different materials you feel comfortable working with. If you're making a scarecrow of your own, the good news is, your work doesn't have to be perfect! It's actually better if he's kinda messy, sloppy stitches or a little uneven.
I wish I could be more of a help, but Good Luck 🤎❤️💛
