DIY Adorable reversible plush toy (owl & penguin)
This adorable reversible owl & penguin plush is a relatively easy to make sock plushie but all sock plushies take a bit of practice to make. If this is your first time sewing sock plush , then you can simply create a non- reversible owl or penguin. That's super easy to make and you can watch Maqaroon's other videos on how to seal the base. If you have a bit more experience with plushies then feel free to get creative. You can even add small ears to create different animals! The plushie will drop some bits of fluff at the beginning because there are lots of "raw" fabric edges. However after you play with it for a while these will go away.
