There’s nothing cuter than this adorable mermaid kitten hybrid plush toy. This project is definitely more involved than the others we’ve shared today, but it’s a great challenge for anyone looking to test their plush making skills. However, all the instructions and templates you need to complete this DIY project are provided. This project can be customized a bit, as you can choose not only the type of fabric for your mermaid kitten, but also the color. For the best results, the creators recommend using a soft, stretchy fabric like plush or felt.
This cute and easy to make stuffed cat can be made quickly and inexpensively using materials you likely already have around the house. If you have extra towels taking up space in your linen closet, this is the perfect way to put them to good use. The color and softness of your stuffed animal will ultimately depend on the towel you use. You can further customize this project by choosing the eyes you want for your kitty. Button eyes work great, but if you prefer a more “sleepy” look, you can also sew on eyes with thread.
Like the Mer-Kitty project above, this unicorn kitten plush toy is a little more involved, but the end product is absolutely stunning. Again, you can choose the color and type of fabric to customize your plush, but the creators recommend using stretchy fabrics like wool or plush to give your toy a fuller, rounder look. Choly Knight provides full-color instructions and a printable template to make the project foolproof. However, you should have some experience with a sewing machine before attempting this DIY project.
This adorable fuzzy kitten project requires some sewing experience, but it’s not as difficult as it might seem. There are many ways to personalize your kitten. For example, choose felt eyes and a nose, or sew on a nose with a satin stitch and eyes with embroidery knots. You can even use glass eyes if your project is not intended for children, or plastic, kid-friendly, safe noses and eyes if it is intended for children. Some talented crafters adapt their projects to other materials, such as recycled sweaters or polyester fleece.
If you’re looking for another Pusheen plush toy, how about this cute pastel toy? This adorable plush sock is super easy to make with materials you probably already have at home. In fact, it’s no different from the other sock pinching projects we’ve seen today, except for the Pusheen-inspired face and shape. Since there’s no downloadable template for this project, you’ll have to draw and cut out the face details yourself. Luckily, Pusheen’s face is pretty simple, so even the worst sketcher can draw it.
This super cute kawaii stuffed animal is perfect for those who enjoy a challenge. The original creator didn’t provide a link to a printable template, so you’ll have to draw everything by hand. They also don’t provide written instructions or voiceovers for the YouTube tutorials, which may make this project difficult for some people, especially auditory learners. Luckily, the video tutorial is pretty detailed, so visual learners shouldn’t have too much trouble with this DIY.
Sure, you can buy all sorts of stuffed cat toys at your local department store or toy store. However, making your own gives you the creative freedom to personalize the stuffed animal to your taste and style. Plus, there’s nothing more meaningful than making something yourself and then displaying it in your home.
For Chantelle, writing and animals are two driving forces in life. She grew up on the Canadian prairies surrounded by pets and currently has five cats, two guinea pigs, and a bearded dragon at home. Chantelle, her husband, and their children pride themselves on being devoted pet parents and even splashed out on a wall-mounted cat stand to give their cats something to climb around the house. When Chantelle isn’t snuggling with her cats or taking photos of their cute moments, you’ll find her exploring the Rocky Mountains, re-watching her favorite Netflix series, and reading books on all sorts of random topics.
