There are many friends who have cats and dogs at home. Let’s DIY a toy doll for your pet. Friends who have cats can make carp dolls, and friends who have dogs can follow this method to make bone-shaped dolls. It’s easy to make and cheap. Let’s give your pet a different toy and start making it together.
The first step is to draw the model of the carp rag doll on the cardboard. The positions of the fins, scales, eyes and gills of the carp rag doll must be marked. If you don’t have a confident painter friend, you can search for pictures online and print them out, and the effect will be ideal.
In the second step, cut out the fish body and carp rag doll fins respectively, and trace the borders of the fish body and carp rag doll fins on the prepared thicker fabric. Don’t forget to mark the scales, eyes and carp ragdoll fin seams.
The third step is to cut out the fish body fabric (two pieces in total) and carp rag doll fin fabric (four pieces in total) and set aside. When cutting the fin part of the carp rag doll, we need to cut the fabric of the carp rag doll fin a little longer, because we need to reserve a length for the carp rag doll fin to be stuffed into the fish body and then sewn together.
?Step 4: Align the two pieces of carp rag doll fin fabric and sew all the edges except for the part connecting the fish body (www.111diy.com). Repeat this step for the other carp rag doll fin.
Step 5: After sewing the edges, add patterns to the carp rag doll fins. Use black thread to sew two lines in the middle of the carp rag doll fins. Note that the carp rag doll fins should be divided into three equal parts. Repeat this step for the other carp ragdoll fin.
Step 6: Align the fish body fabric, start sewing from one side of the fish body, then stuff the carp rag doll fin into the middle of the fish body fabric, move it to the marked carp rag doll fin position, and then sew the fish body and carp Seal and sew the ragdoll fin fabric together.

Step 7: Stuff the cotton into the middle of the fish body as full as possible. After stuffing, sew the edges of the fishtail. In this way, the prototype of the fish doll came out.
Step 8: Add three lines to the fish tail to make the fish tail lifelike. After adding cotton, the doll will be thicker and it may be more difficult to sew. It is recommended to change to a longer needle.
Step 9: Add the lines of scales and gills to the body of the fish based on the lines of scales and gills that were previously marked on the fish body to make the carp rag doll more concave and convex, and more three-dimensional.
Step 10: Finally, sew buttons on the eyes of the fish to act as fish eyes. Remember to sew eyes on both sides. If you are interested in adding a fish mouth, you can add the lines of the mouth to the fish.
In this way, you can complete your pet’s small toy in ten steps. Here we will use the carp doll as a teaching example to give your pet a different toy and save you unnecessary expenses.
