Every Whovian needs a companion, and what better companion then the amazing K-9.

Instructions

1. 

   I started this project by cutting out my pieces from light grey, dark grey, and red felt.

2. 

   Next I used No Sew Glue to glue the top panel and the side panels to the pieces. I also glued the red buttons onto the top panel.

3. 

   I used light grey embroidery thread to add a square detail to one side panel then sewed around the bottom panel to add some texture.

4. 

   I placed the top panel right side in against the side panel then sewed them together. I did the same for the bottom panel and also added K-9 to the side.

5. 

   I finished sewing the other side panel to the body, here in this picture everything is inside out.

6. 

   After turning the body right side out I was concerned that the bottom would not stay flat so I cut out a small piece of cardboard and glued it into the bottom.

7. 

   I let the glue dry for a bit, but wasn't worried about it being completely dry before continuing.

8. 

   After I added the filling I realized that the to wasn't laying flat either.

9. 

   I took the stuffing out and glued in another piece of cardboard then re-added the filling.

10. 

    I decided to cut out some smaller squares of felt in blue, yellow, and green then glued them to the top panel. I set this piece aside to let the glue dry some of the pieces moved around a bit without my realizing it but it still looks good.

11. 

    While the glue dried I sewed the head together using the two head pieces and the strip I cut to add the width to the head.

12. 

    I attached the front panel to the neck leaving a hole in the front panel that the neck piece went into.

13. 

    Here is the hole for the neck.

14. 

    I put a little glue onto four toothpicks then stuck them through the hole in the panel.

15. 

    I also glued a dark grey strip around the neck.

16. 

    Then I glued the red visor onto the head piece.

17. 

    I used black puffy paint to add the nose detail and the detail to the visor.

18. 

    While all the paint and glue were drying I cut anther toothpick in half.

19. 

    I stuck the flat side of the toothpick into black acrylic paint then set it aside to dry.

20. 

    Back to the head piece I put No-Sew Glue onto the other end of the toothpicks.

21. 

    Then I pushed the toothpicks into the body piece. I used the toothpicks so that the head would stay in the position I wanted it to rather then drooping. Then I sewed the front panel to the body.

22. 

    I took another toothpick and cut off the tips then painted them grey. I just put the paint on my finger and rolled the toothpick around until it was coated.

23. 

    Next I glued a small circle to the flat side of the toothpick.

24. 

    Then I glued another circle to the other side, I made two of these for the "ears".

25. 

    The black paint had dried so I pushed the sharp tip into my table to flatten it a bit, then put a dot of glue onto the black paint.

26. 

    I cut a tiny slit into the back panel and stuck the toothpick into the slit, this is the tail.

27. 

    I painted the rest of the tail dark grey, then used black paint to make a small circle around the area where the tail is.

28. 

    I decided to add a white dot to the nose using another toothpick (made a nice small dot).

29. 

    I used dark grey embroidery thread to add some details to the "ear" pieces.

30. 

    Add a small dot of glue.

31. 

    Then I cut a small slit into the head to push the toothpicks into.

32. 

    Let everything dry.

33. 

    Here is a view of the bottom.
