People who are into making things out of fabric and clothing will find it extremely fun to make a stuffed dinosaur for his own collection. Now although the steps to making this kind of cute toy are very easy, it will take quite a bit of effort to make and not to mention a lot of time. However, after he makes it, it will really give him a good feeling of accomplishment.

Of course the first step to creating anything from scratch would be to find a reference point so that one has something he can base his creation on. So the best thing to do here would be to search for a template or pattern on how to make dinosaurs. With the technology these days, it is so easy to find templates all over the internet.

The next thing to do would be to go down to the store and shop for some fabric and other materials that can be used in the process. One should decide on which color he would want his plush toy to be whether he wants to make a purple, a green, or a red dinosaur. Also, choose the softness of the fabric that is going to be used but always remember to choose a durable type of fabric so that it does not easily tear.

When all of the materials have been gathered, now would be the time to sew up the stuffed toy by making use of the template. Now one may either choose to use a sewing machine or do it the manual way by using a needle and thread. Now if one would use a sewing machine, he can finish faster but if he uses a needle and thread, he will be able to pay attention to some details. It is up to him to choose which method he would want.

So now one should begin sewing the fabric together in order to make the dinosaur the sewing process. It is always important to leave a small hole where one can stuff cotton or poly fill. Carefully follow the template so that everything will fall into its proper place and that nothing will go wrong.

After that, take some of the poly fill and stuff it into the small hole of the stuffed toy. Make sure to fill up the whole thing so that the toy will be very soft and cuddly. After that, sew up the small hole that was used to put the stuffing in.

The last step would be to sew up any other holes that are there. One must avoid letting the stuffing fall out because the toy will then become deflated. Also, if there are any threads that are sticking out, one should just cut them off.

So if one is interested in making a stuffed dinosaur, here are the steps to follow. Take note that one must be very meticulous when working with fabric. If he is not, things will not turn out the way he wants.
