Expert Answer

Spot clean the surface with soapy water and a microfiber cloth. Then, remove the soap residue with a damp microfiber cloth with only warm water. Let it air dry completely or tumble dry it at a low temperature.

At minimum, you’ll need some type of fabric (felt works well, but you can also use household items, like an old t-shirt or pillowcase), stuffing material (such as cotton wool or polyester fiber filling), and something to help the parts of your stuffed animal stick together (such as fabric glue or needle and thread). You might also want decorative materials, such as buttons, ribbons, or fabric paint.

One of the easiest stuffed animals you can make is the classic sock monkey. All you need is 2 socks, buttons for the eyes, a pair of scissors, a needle and thread, and some kind of stuffing. In a pinch, you could even stuff the monkey with crumpled paper or rolled up socks. For a pattern and detailed instructions, check out our “How to Make a Sock Monkey” article.

You can make a simple stuffed animal in as little as half an hour. A more complicated project could take days or even months to complete!
