How To Make This DIY Stuffie:
First, cut out the No Face body from the free printable template listed in the Supply List above.
Use the cut out to trace both the front and back of your easy DIY no sew felt plushie.
Then, cut out the face only from the free downloadable template. Trace the face onto a sheet of white felt and cut out the circular shape.
Using hot glue, attach the face to one of the black sides of your plushie.
Cut out a triangle, eye and the mouth piece from the printable. Use these to trace both of your eyes, four triangle shapes and the mouth piece.
Attach those pieces to the white circular felt face using hot glue, be careful not to burn yourself!
Then, glue the front of the plushie to the back of your plushie, leaving the bottom free of glue so it can be stuffed with polyfil or cotton.
Now, stuff your plushie full using cotton, polyfil or leftover felt scraps. Seal it shut with a long bead of hot glue.
Squish your plushie a few times to ensure all sides are glued down, and there you have it! Your very own Kaonashi plushie! Keep it for yourself or gift to a Ghibli enthusiast!
You can turn this easy no sew felt plushie into a coin purse, stuffie, or even a keychain for your backpack or purse! What should I make next? Share your thoughts in the comment section!
