Technical Monster

We all have many gadgets floating around in our messenger bags, getting all scratched up in the daily grind. Then we think we should get them a cozy little pocket of warmth but decide after looking at the price, "life was simpler" when all these gadgets didn't weigh us down. However, the cell phone is a must for someone like me that’s never home. Dear ol' ma wouldn't get to talk to me otherwise. And the MP3 player plays the soundtrack of my days. So I decided that my technology needed a new look if they we going to hang out with me. And now these little monsters are getting so much attention, I have decided to make them as gifts for my friends.

Supplies:
-Various plushy toy toss offs such as beanie babies - can be found at local thrift stores, your kids toy box a co-workers cubical and sometimes even in free boxes
-Needle & thread
-Scissors
-Hot glue
-Goggely eyes
-Old pants or sweaters
- Sewing Machine

Step 1: Deconstruction

Step 1 - Start identifying which body types will accommodate your gadget. Then start deconstructing. Make little piles of plushy parts for your mad science self.

I have a teddy I was given when I was born that my Nan made and it really does closely resemble one of these... Which is preeetty concerning but er.. yeah.

Made one of these with my seven year old the other day. We don't have a sewing machine and did it all by hand. We put a head on it and used a bit of elastic and a button to close the beast. We also added a ribbon as a strap. She loves it.

Yay! I love it. It's like getting back at a tormented childhood.

Those are awesome! (Not exactly space-saving, but then that's clearly not the point.) You should add this to the Homemade Gifts contest- these guys would make great holiday presents.
