Keith-Ki-Domo-kun, Instructables' Keith-Kid Domo-kun

Keith-Ki-Domo-kun, Instructables\
Got a little monster that won't quit whining? Make them a plush Keith-Ki-Domo-kun with flashing LED eyes and big mouth. Based on the Instructables' avatar of Keith-Kid, this Domo is also starting to discover the world out there. It is sometimes scary and tough, the world that is, but a pat on the head or a snide compliment will make it better. I believe it is housebroken and will answer email.

The construction is similar to the Ro-Domo-Kun Instructables Robot Domo-Kun. Present day Domos may have evolved from this prehistoric reptilian type of Domo. Environmental changes through the ages seem to have made obsolete the scalely armor-like skin and primitive behavior of flashing its eyes and mouth when sensing danger based on instinct. The tail appendage also seems to serve no other purpose than taking a swipe at tall buildings in its way..

Step 1Dig for materials...

Dig for materials...
For this project you will need:

You can select any color or pattern of your choice to make the Domo. I just happen to have some green and Instructables orange material to use. You can make this in team colors, unfortunately it seems this turned out like a Miami Dolphins football team mascot.

~~pelts~~ Material for the covering of the Domo

a block of foam, sponge or even cardboard to form the core of the body.

scrap bits of felt or material for the mouthpiece, teeth, footpads

polyester fiberfill or batting

pieces of stiff bendable wire for the appendages

a cheapo LED bicycle safety flasher unit

some electronic soldering/desoldering skillz

some sewing skills - this can all be done by hand with needle and thread but it will be a lot easier with a sewing machine.

It seems as if someone has found the love of sewing (referring to the past few instructables of yours). Congratulations. Your life is one step closer to being complete!
