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

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 1: 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.

Nice! I wish I could sew that well.......

[caitlinsdad]

If you can blindly push a needle with a string attached going through several layers of fabric and know where to place your thumb on the other side without getting poked, that is sewing well.

[T3h_Muffinator]

ohkayyyyy I'll try it.... but if I end up make a domo-arm, I'm blaming you!

[INSTRUCTUBAL]

me too. ive already gotten injuries from sewing. *holds up shoe-arm*

[codongolev]

I'm permanently wearing these pants.....

[GorillazMiko]

We need a GorillazMiko one. :o

[caitlinsdad]

Dude, we all thought you retired the bucket. I think they even rented out your room.

[GorillazMiko]

I got the room back. (They wanted double the price!)

[caitlinsdad]

Man, things happen when you are gone. Seems like someone kicked the fun out of this place.

[GorillazMiko]

Once there is a GorillazMiko plushie created, the fun will be back. Or an Instructable dedicated to GorillazMiko.

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!

[caitlinsdad]

I've been able to use a sewing machine since I was a kid. Mom worked as a sweatshop seamstress and if I ripped my clothes, I could fix it myself. If I had a MIG welder, or any welder, that would be nice.

[dagenius]

yah, except if you accidentallly put your thumb on the back of metal while mig welding, you will get much worse than a poke ;)

[caitlinsdad]

You could also take an eye out if you stare at it without a mask.

[Keith-Kid]

I. Am. Honored. Although its about time.....Thank you. As with the ro-domo-kun, well done.

[caitlinsdad]

OK, now go out and play in the street or sumthin.

[Keith-Kid]

Sumthing I shall!

[Keith-Kid]

GAH!!!

[Derin]

_{Shhhhh,Keith,the robot one is better!!!}

[Keith-Kid]

I do not argue that, but mine has a tail!

[caitlinsdad]

It does kinda look like it just rolled out of bed and wrinkly, I mean the green one.
