Ok. SO! I WILL be getting my manican by this upcoming friday so don't think I'm just posting and not working. I'm having money issues on this end! I'm doing another cosplay (I have like 20 that I need to do), and this one includes a ferret. I'm not gonna carry around an ear biting ferret who will make my costume reak. SO!!!!! I would like to make a plushie. I have no idea what to do as far as materials go or anything. I know I want it to be white and longer than one foot. If I didn't want it longer than one foot . . . I would just buy one, make it's jacket and call it good. If anyone has any plushie making experience please help me on this one. If I have to like hand draw patterns or w/e I will. I would just really like to make my plushie~~~~ Thanks everyone. As for the other threads I have made, as soon as I get my manican and the fabric, I will start to post progress pictures and you guys can comment on those. Thanks again guys. I LOVE THIS GUILD!

oh yeah . . . cute ferret picture~~~
if you think we need more pictures for like the build of a ferret and stuff ask and I'll edit this to post more.
My three ferrets object to your implication that they bite ears and stink. We have one who will stick his cold, wet nose into your ear as a greeting, but the other two won't have anything to do with human ears. They all suggest that you've got them confused with Mike Tyson. They also suggest that you've got them confused with those little teacup dogs that ride around in purses. They don't like to sit still for very long and would hate being carried around as an accessory. They applaud your decision to make a plushie instead of subjecting one of their brother or sister ferrets to that kind of torture. biggrin
I would suggest making one out of high quality fake fur. Ferrets are related to mink, and have the same soft fur if taken care of properly. Their bodies are very flexible so I wouldn't stuff the body too tightly, especially if you are planning to drape it around your neck. I don't have much plushie making experience, but if you need more advice on the build of a ferret, let me know.
lol. It made sense to me. I speak engrish too. The ferrets I had would bite everything and their mom . . . and they would stink way bad . . . but I think that was because we had four of them stressed Thank you guys for the comments! I shall make my way to the store! *gets car keys*

when i wanted to know how to make a plushy or something my grandma got me a book...but it depends on how you want to make it...you could crochet it or sew it or so on and so forth...it just depends on how you want to make it.
