Plush Cube Monster

Ah, the loveable plush cube monster, a toy that is fairly easy to make - and also fun to love.

In this instructables you will learn how to make your own plush cube monster.

first - the basic materials will be:

- fabric of your choice
- 2 buttons
- yarn or thick string
- fiber fill
- needle and thread ( or sewing machine)

Step 1: Starting off

to keep this simple for those who have less experience sewing - i am going to stick to making a perfectly cubicle plush monster.

therefore, the pictures are guidelines to how i created the yeti plush cube monster, but the directions will be more simplistic.

first - cut out 6, five inch by five inch cloth squares.

(you can honestly make your monster any size you want but mine is fairly small)

with the outside of the fabric together, pin the edges of two squares together.

sew along the top edge of the squares.

Sorry I have one more question. Where did you get fabric for the fuzzy one that you showed first? it looks really soft and adorable!

It's no problem. I got that fabric at Jo-ann's, however I haven't really been able to find it again. It has been hard for me to find a fuzzy faux fur that I really like without paying a mint online :(

How did you plan out the changes to the cube shape to add the legs? I'd like to make my second with legs, but I'm a beginner and am unsure how to do that.

These are beautiful!
I was given my first sewing machine just a few days ago. A little guy called QByte is the first thing I made with it.

Had to hand-stitch the horns & mouth, but it's so lovely working with a machine.

Thank you for a great instructable!

:) I'm so happy to hear!! I hope you have much luck in the future experimenting with your machine. I know I was happy as a clam when I finally got mine :)

what type of material did you use for the horns? (i may have missed where you mentioned it, if you did mention it.)

cloudyerout (author) in reply to N3rdPrinc3ssMay 27, 2012. 6:10 PM

It was some scrap that I found laying around, I'm not sure exactly what it is, but it's a very sheer, and flowing material. It really shouldn't matter what you use for your horns, but if I could have I would have used something that was thicker and shiny just to give it more attention :)

I would love to make one! How much fabric did you use?

cloudyerout (author) in reply to reganbellaJan 29, 2012. 7:58 PM

Honestly not that much. I couldn't tell you exactly how much fabric I used because I've made a ton of these little guys and the recipe for the design changes slightly every time, but I would say if you have 1/4 of a yard you should have enough.

Thanks so much!

This is great. At first I thought the horns were eyes and the eyes were nostrils.

smilesinspringlol in reply to MrballengMay 24, 2011. 5:21 PM

haha thats funny... it took me a while to see it that way but its cute either way :)

What kind of fabric did you use on the yeti monster? Its super cute.

cloudyerout (author) in reply to doughnut42Feb 21, 2011. 10:08 AM

I used a white faux fur from Jo-Ann's. It's a little pricey but it's really soft and you honestly don't need a lot of it. In the end you can use really any fabric that you want - but out of the ones I have made, I think I like the fuzzy fur one the best :P

thanks.
