Making a Kiko Plushie!
by: oddhatter
I have the bad habit of working by sight, rather than with a pattern...but I will stick up a pattern for this plushie once I draw a good one up. First I cut out the main body pieces. Fortunately...a kiko doesn't have have much "body"=)
Right now, the pieces consist of four triangles for the arms and two ovals for the head/body and separate (two) pieces of "claws".
Sew two of the arm triangles sewn together. (do not sew the wide end closed; leave it open) Turn it inside out. Right now, you should have a fairly cone shaped...shape. repeat for the other two triangles.
Stuff the cone/triangle. Get the "claws". You want to sew them on to the arm triangle that you already have. It might take some work, but just put it between the open, wide end of the "triangle" and sew the triangle closed(with the "claw" in between).
Grab the two ovals. Place the "arms" between them, sandwich style. Obviously, get the arms at the angle you want them to be. Remember that you'll be turning this inside out, so consider that when placing your "arms". Sew the two ovals together, overlapping the "arms" a bit to hold them in place.
When you're finished doing that, turn it inside out and stuff it. With cotton, felt scraps, polyester beads, old newspapers...whatever you want...
The rest should be fairly obvious once you have the basic "form". Cut out pieces of felt for the eyes and glue or sew them on(I used glue). If you like, you can get two plasters/band-aids and tape them on to the top of the plushie.
There you go! Hope you liked the tutorial!
