You Will Need (3 things)
- 1 m White Polar Fleece
- 1 m Black Material
- 1 x Toy Stuffing Bag
Steps (11 steps, 30 minutes)
-
1
First, after you gather all your materials, cut out two semi-circled shaped peices from some old newspaper.
This creates the pattern needed.
Trace around this pattern, leaving about an inch allowance. -
2
Cut out the two peices.
-
3
Lay the peices together so that the good, non-drawn on side is facing each other.
Now pinaround the shape, leaving a section unsewn so we can flip it good-side out after sewing.
The unpinned side prefferably should be in the middle of the bottom side - this is so that the sewn up outside seam will be hidden by the peices of nori/seadweed.
-
4
Sew it all up, except the area we left unpinned.
-
5
After it's all sewn up, flip it good-side outside. The seams should be hidden inside.
-
6
Now, stuff the pillow full of toy stuffing. You can get this stuff in most craft, sewing or hoddy stores.
-
7
When it's all stuffed hand sew up the open bit. It's okay if it's messy - the nori/seaweed will cover it up.
-
8
Now, the seaweed is made from a rectangle peice of black material. This peices' size depends on the size of your onigiri.
Cut the peice out and pin down the raw edges. Then sew them suckers down.
-
9
You should have two peices like this.
-
10
Now glue your nori/seaweed onto the riceball.
Look before gluing so it's relatively even.

Add some eyes, some cheek and whatever you want.
Ta-Da! now you've created your own cute onigir pillow.
