As dog owners, we understand the importance of having toys that look like dogs. Store-bought toys can get expensive, so why not make your own? With a few supplies and some craftiness, you can make your very own Squishmallow plush toy for your pup! Here’s how.
Gather Your Supplies
There are only a few supplies needed to create your own Squishmallow toy - fabric (1/2 yard), stuffing material, scissors, thread, and a sewing machine! If you don’t have access to a sewing machine, you can always hand-sew it together. You may also want to grab some felt or fabric paint and embellishments if you would like to personalize your creation even further.
Cut & Sew
Once you have all of the supplies gathered together, it is time to start cutting and sewing! Cut out two identical pieces of fabric in whatever shape or size desired. Make sure the size is appropriate for what kind of toy you are making - just remember that bigger is better when it comes to dog toys! Once the two pieces are cut out, sew them together around the edges with a 1/4 inch seam allowance, leaving about 2 inches open for stuffing.
Stuff & Secure
Now it’s time to stuff! Use whatever stuffing material desired - cotton balls work great for this project as they will give shape but still be light enough for your pup to play with freely. Fill up both sides until evenly stuffed and then sew up the remaining 2 inches by hand or with a machine. If using felt or fabric paint and embellishments, now is the time to add those on as well before fully securing the toy closed.
Making a Squishmallow plush toy at home is an easy way to provide something special and unique for your pup while saving money at the same time. Have fun picking out fabrics and adding embellishments to make it extra special! With just a few simple steps you will have crafted a one-of-a-kind toy! Happy crafting!
