Toasty-kun! Make a stuffed animal with a microwavable heart.

So I'm sitting in this monster of a snowstorm thinking that I need something warm. Mabye some Hot Choco "sip" no thats not it, Chai tea? smells good but no... I know! a hug, so I look around see my bother "hug" (he looks at me funny) nope not warm enough hmm... ah ha! a cat! "hug" ("meeeeooow" scratch!) oww... no, well I'm a maker soooo lets make it!

It needs to be cute, warm and and cute and toasty!

Well Domo-kun is cute but if he was warm....well... ta da!
Toasty-kun!

Toasty-kun is great for staying warm and is also a great gift for your Valentine

To make him even better I decided to upcycle and only use scrap fabric destined for the the trash!

This may sound weird and is completely off-topic, but I fell in love with that closet showing in the back of the first and the second picture. Could you possibly send me a picture of it as whole? :O I think it's time for an Ikea-hack!

unfortunately it's in my sisters room and I am currently spending the year abroad in Israel. However I do know that she's had it since I could remember but it's probably not more than 10 years old. I'll see if maybe my sis could send me a picture.

Very sweet project.

thanks! nothing needs to be changed?

I love the idea/name! I would suggest possibly making a removable "aromapouch" that's in a compartment in the heart sealed with Velcro. The aroma will eventually run out (although I don't know how long/how many uses that takes), so it would be nice if you could just take out a pouch and put in a new one. Or maybe even so that you can have different aromas.

very cool idea!

rattyrain in reply to imrobotFeb 3, 2011. 6:17 PM

I honestly think the Toasty-Kun could be a marketable idea, seeing as they have domo-everything

uuuummmm... it already has a name his name is domo
goto domonation.com and l@@k.

imrobot (author) in reply to badassrifferMar 1, 2010. 7:12 PM

no no no no... it's a mash up of two things domo-kun and toasty (cause the heart makes it warm) so he is toasty-kun! toasty domo-kun = toasty- kun!

thanks though
