Not very big. I'd say the Pacman has a 4-inch diameter.

:3 glad you like them! Thanks for the fave!

I'm glad I could help :3 Sewing is a at stress reliever. Nothing like poking needles into something a hundred times.

I've never done a transformer plushie but I'm definatly considering it! does a lot of adorable Transformers art, and she actually drew plushie versions of some G1 characters that i absoluetly plan on turning into plushies based on their design. (Optimus: [link] Bunblebee: [link] ) They'll be a challenge for sure. Metal plates don't usually translate well to soft and squishy XD

:3 they were glued. I prefer to glue on facial features made of felt, just because sewing can leave messy lines or frayed edges.

Do you use felt with all your projects? What kind of glue? I've always wanted to do plushies and its on my to do list which sadly is quite long so I doubt I'll ever get around to it but I think its neat to do a more 3D medium.

:3 I mostly use felt, yes. I find it's the best for making plusies because it's soft, the edges don't fray when you cut them, and it's super cheap at places like Michaels or Hobby Lobby. I usually just get the littl sheets they sell in the kids craft section. If I need a very specific color, or something softer, I will buy a roll of fleece from Hobby Lobby or Joanne's fabric (i can't speak highly enough about the Hobby Lobby XD best craft store on the planet)

I specficlly use felt glue for stuff like the eyes. I only use hot glue when I'm doing something like glueing ribbons togeather to make a Nyan Cat rainbow trail.

If you'd like, I'd be happy to link you to some very simple patterns and tutorials here on DA. I got my start plushing by making a bumblebee I found here :3 Gotta start out small, figure out your style, and then after some practice, it becomes easy to start thinking up and making your own patterns and what-not.

:3 They're all pretty basic, and give you a good idea of how plushing works.
