Plushie related- Making a Plush Zipper Pull?

Postby StormyRavenNeko » Thu Jun 16, 2011 10:50 pm

I'm trying to figure out how to construct a plush zipper pull (well times 3) for a plush I'm making. I am stumped and I really want it to look like it all flows, reference pictures below. Any help or advice is greatly appreciated. :)

I think make the basic shape. After it is stuffed, Sew in the detail. Kind of like making a puffy quilt. I dunno if that helps but thats the best idea I have for this guy's tail and ears. I think it could work well. As for the zippy part, I dunno....Maybe use ribbon and paint it before you sew it on?

Maybe try stuffing it with cotton batting instead of regular stuffing?

They make ribbon that looks like the teeth on a zipper, I'd sew some of that on it and make a plush zip pull out of felt or something.
I saw a plush on deviant art of this guy, you can see how they did it...let me see if I can find the link...

Haha, I knew I should have looked under PSG on deviantART. Thanks for the help everyone, made me realize I was trying to make him more complicated than what he should be. :)
