Do you still remember the elf Totoro in Hayao Miyazakis cartoon "My Neighbor Totoro" who likes to live in the forest and has a chubby body and long ears? It is very naive. Today we will make one with cotton socks. Totoro doll bar.
My Neighbor Totoro Making Materials:
An old cotton sock, cotton, rags (white, black, gray), needle and thread, scissors, glue.
My Neighbor Totoro Making Steps:
1) Make ears. Lay the sock flat, cut off the middle of the toe, and sew. Note that you need to turn it over to the wrong side and sew it, then turn it back to the front side after sewing.
2) Fill the body. Fill the socks with cotton from the inside. It is recommended to use cotton with less elasticity, such as old cotton, to make the chinchilla look stronger.
3) Sewing the butt. Stuff the sock opening into the body of the chinchilla (if the sock is too long, you can cut it shorter), and then shrink and sew the edges of the sock together. When sewing, you need to carefully organize the folds to make this chinchilla butt look beautiful, haha~
4) Make the tail. Use gray cloth to make the chinchilla tail. Turn it over and sew it on the wrong side. Turn it back after sewing, and then sew it on the back of the body using the hidden stitch method.
5) Make eyes and belly. Use white and black cloth pieces to make two chinchilla eyes and glue them to the chinchillas body. Then cut a larger piece of white round cloth and paste it on the body of the chinchilla to serve as the big white belly of the chinchilla.
6) Ear shaping. Finally, you need to narrow the base of the chinchillas ears, pierce the base of the ears with sewing thread, tighten the two ends and tie them with a knot. Okay, a big fat chinchilla appears vividly in front of you. Isn't it very cute?
