That's so neat! You are talented.

 

[meghan]

Awesome idea!
I bet you made it at a fraction of the cost it would take to buy the Marshall one.

 

[mamarat]

The bottom
I used a simple fish drawing (like this one...)

for the bottom. I made it two times. inside the bottom I added foam

The top
For the top I used the same Fish, but I streched it (so it looks fat). I streched it about 10cm.
These ones you cut in half.
I used this pattern two times. In between the sides I added foam.

The flippers, I made those on sight. I stuffed them with foam

The making:
Put the foam inside the bottom, the two sides and the flippers
Attach the two flippers to the bottom, attach the 2 sides to the bottom, sow up the back (put the back fipper in between)
Turn inside out

DONE :congrats: you made a playfishie

 

[Cityratt]

It looks great!! I can sew, but I must say I'm not very motivated to do it. :lol: I'll have to try making my own fish, it's so cute! My rats are in desperate need of some new hammocks and things. Great job with this and thanks for the info on making one.
