Create an Elephant Plushie!

In this video I create a gray plush elephant from scratch. Learn how I hand made a grey elephant with a custom pattern using fleece, a sewing machine, and fiberfill.

First I grab my own elephant pattern made out of card stock and use it to cut out the right pieces from the medium gray and light gray fleece fabric I have. I use the medium gray color as the main body and the light gray color as the inside of the ear. Then I cut two eyes out of black fleece. After cutting out a curly tail it is time to glue everything in place with Fabri-Tac. This step isn't necessary, but it helps me keep the little pieces in the right place when I sew them down. Now it's time to sew every together. I use a Singer Heavy Duty sewing machine but I think almost any sewing machine would work, you could even try hand-stitching it. Once all the pieces are sewn together, I invert the plushie and use a wood stick to poke out any sections that don't want to puff out properly. Now on to stuffing. I stuff with Poly-Fil brand polyester fiberfill because it has the best “fluff” factor for me. After the elephant is stuffed I hand-stitch the opening close and attach the tag. All done.

It's just that easy and fun to create one of these handmade stuffed plush elephants. Please like and subscribe if you liked watching this video and don't forget to check out Plushzilla.com for all my handmade stuffed animals!
