Learn to make miniature plushies in a size of a penny
As i saw that miniature felt monster plushie on a tiny swap page, i wanted one for myself too! You can make these plushies into keyrings, jewelry or keep them as your pocket friends or dollhouse miniatures. :) Im sorry that this how-to has so many text in each step, but i wanted to keep everything detailed.

    First print out this pattern or create one by yourself. I made this one size of the original pattern, but it seems like printing it out it enlarges. Click on this pic to see the original size and see how you can print this pattern out. ;)

    Step 2

    To create a pattern by yourself,start with folding in half or so a piece of thick paper or cardboard. Then, draw a half of the pattern on the pattern, making sure that the middle of the pattern is on the fold. See the picture. This way you will make a symmetrical pattern.

    Then draw your pattern on felt twice. If your pattern isn't symmetrical, you should flip your pattern after drawing first time on felt. If your pattern is symmetrical, i think it doesn't really matter if you flip your pattern around.

    Before you sew,make sure that your needle is with small eye as it makes this tiny sewing easier. Also make sure that thread you are using for sewing the 2 plushie parts together is matching felt color,because if it doesn't,the thread will stand out and won't look very nice.

This tutorial was so helpful! I like to sell things, so I was thinking of something to make for a key chain when I saw your pattern. I made lots of key chains and I sold them all.
