Fuzzy Sock Bird Plush Tutorial | Cute DIY/Craft

Hey everyone! Today I'll be showing you how to sew this cute bird plush out of fuzzy socks. This is a pretty quick and easy sock plushie to make, so I hope you'll give it a try! I think I'm going to make more specific bird species and turn it into a series, so subscribe if you haven't already if you're interested in seeing that.

As promised, here's the materials list:
-One gray fuzzy sock
-The toe of a yellow fuzzy sock
-Needle and thread
-Fabric scissors
-Toy stuffing
-Gray needle felting wool in a similar shade to the fuzzy sock
-Needle felting needles
-Needle felting mat
-Something for the eyes (superglue and flat-backed eyes, beads, embroidery thread knots, etc.)
-Something for the cheeks (chalk pastels, blush, eyeshadow, a magic marker, etc.)

Substitutions:

Instead of toy stuffing, you can use anything that's soft and fluffy. For example, fuzzy sock scraps or yarn scraps would work perfectly. You can also use needle felting wool, dryer lint, or cotton balls.

If you don't know how to needle felt, you can opt to make the beak out of polymer clay, leaving a hole in it to sew it on, kind of like a homemade bead. You can also sew on a piece of craft foam instead. Have fun getting creative and adapting it into your own area of expertise!

As stated above, you can glue on eyes like I did in the video, or you can also sew on beads or make french or colonial knots with embroidery thread.

You can also add cheeks with blush or eyeshadow, any other type of powdered pigment, or watered down food coloring or a magic marker.

The wings are kind of finicky to make, so you can needle felt and sew them on instead. Polymer clay may be too heavy to make them out of, but you can try it out. If it doesn't work, you can also use a lighter clay like paper clay. Crocheting them with a fine yarn could be cute too.
