A Guide To Making A Stuffed Dinosaur

By Odessa Edwards


People who are into making things out of fabric and clothing will find it extremely fun to make a stuffed dinosaur for his own collection. Now although the steps to making this kind of cute toy are very easy, it will take quite a bit of effort to make and not to mention a lot of time. However, after he makes it, it will really give him a good feeling of accomplishment.

Now it is always hard to create something if there is absolutely no reference or model to somehow follow. So it is always best to search first for a template on how to make toy dinosaurs. One may find one of these templates in a bookstore or probably over the internet for easier access.

If one has already determined what kind of design he would want for his creation, then the next step would be to gather some good materials and the fabric that would be good for the process. Now when he gets to the store, he will be choosing from different colors ranging from purple, blue, red, and more. He must just always keep in mind that he should always buy a good and sturdy fabric that does not get torn easily.

When all of the materials have been gathered, now would be the time to sew up the stuffed toy by making use of the template. Now one may either choose to use a sewing machine or do it the manual way by using a needle and thread. Now if one would use a sewing machine, he can finish faster but if he uses a needle and thread, he will be able to pay attention to some details. It is up to him to choose which method he would want.

So now one should begin sewing the fabric together in order to make the dinosaur the sewing process. It is always important to leave a small hole where one can stuff cotton or poly fill. Carefully follow the template so that everything will fall into its proper place and that nothing will go wrong.

After that, take some of the poly fill and stuff it into the small hole of the stuffed toy. Make sure to fill up the whole thing so that the toy will be very soft and cuddly. After that, sew up the small hole that was used to put the stuffing in.

The last step would be to sew up any other holes that are there. One must avoid letting the stuffing fall out because the toy will then become deflated. Also, if there are any threads that are sticking out, one should just cut them off.

So basically, that is how to make a stuffed dinosaur in just a few steps. It definitely is not that hard to do but it is very challenging and time consuming. If one does well, he can even open up a business selling these things.
