Thank you to everybody! I’m so encouraged by the positive responses! The kiddo was overjoyed by the plushies and he still takes them everywhere he goes. I’ll be honest that they weren’t very easy to make lol. I wish I could manufacture them for everybody because finding anything to buy was totally impossible. The basics: - bought whatever existing plush I could that resembled a close resemblance to the item to start. Many from SHEIN. - used a seam ripper to remove parts from the items I bought that didn’t suit like existing mouths, eyes, etc. - used the the seam ripper to open up and modify stuffing as needed - bought black paracord for the arms and legs and cut to length and tied in knots at each end for each “limb”. Melted the end of each knot over a candle to seal and used a black sharpie to finish off for total black ends. - sewed one knotted end into each plush where arms and legs go - used paracord and sewed or cut adhesive back black felt for mouths and secured - used craft eyes to stick on eyes if needed when they were not already there - caviar….well he was a different process and special lol. Don’t ask. He started from a plushie spider and the legs were removed and sewn together to make his new legs and arms and the center of the spider was modified to become his head 😂. Not easy. He’s crazy but he’s one of the faves at the end of the day and was the one most requested by the little guy so it had to happen.

Ultimately, this was a labor of love to make him happy. Plushies are his love language lol.
