But the Chewbacca Domo had just the right amount of Chewbacca and the right amount of Domo for me. I even impressed myself, which is harder to do than you might think.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Enough about how good it is, and onto how I made it. I had a look around a real fabric store, and as soon as I saw the material, I knew immediately that it was the right one to use. From there I found a couple of packs of silver beads, and a ribbon for the sash. All totalled, it came to about $35 not including the cardboard, felt or assembly materials (thread, glue etc)<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">For those who want to see the entire process (sped up to run 5 mins long), check this video out:<\/p>\n<p><center><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"margin-right: 5px; margin-bottom: 10px; display: inline-block;\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/AQj1aXcLmXI\" height=\"338\" width=\"600\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/center><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><!--more-->The last few times when making a plushy, I winged the entire thing, and then built a pattern after the fact (for boo at least). This time I wanted to be certain that I started with a pattern so that what you see on the video is **exactly how yours would look if you followed along. In order to build the pattern I thoroughly examined the domo that had previously adorned my toy shelf. I didn&#8217;t take it apart, but I did use it as a guide for general construction when I was creating the pattern.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The only real place that needed adjustment was the piece that connected the front and the back (&#8220;The side&#8221;). This turned out to have an extra inch on it for some reason. I&#8217;ve removed that much from the pattern, so hopefully if you make your own you won&#8217;t have that problem.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It was a real treat working with actual fabric instead of felt. It held together better than the felt did, and really made the finished product seem more professional. I&#8217;ll definitely be hitting up a fabric store the next time I build a plushy.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The only new addition to the toyshelf this video is the paper tardis from last video. I&#8217;ve also swapped out the old domo with the new Chewy-Domo; It&#8217;s starting to get a bit tricky to find new places for things.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">**For a given value of &#8220;exactly&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Of all the things I&#8217;ve made on my channel to date, this one has turned out the closest to what &hellip;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/thatsps.com\/blog\/how-to-make-a-chewbacca-domo\/\">Continue reading &raquo;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":901,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"video","meta":{"_mi_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[270],"tags":[22,255,310,257,18,102,19,10,142,260,311,263,261,312,15,28,267,313,170,169,30,258,104,105,256,266,259,20,21,17],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.9 -
