I did think of trying to get the head to be one peice, but it can't happen. I have to account for roundness.

I thought you could use it for color references and to find a similar material to use as the skin.

I just noticed they look like a beige-colored stuffed pillow, so I figured why not try and make 'em look more like they are in the game. (It would be WAY cool to get some circular-patterned red material that looked like the mouth!)
 
Wal-Mart sells fabric paint it works on felt as well. (I'm making a snark out of felt)

they don't have Brown/Off white, however you CAN brish the paints on, or mix them. :D
 
If you make a snark be care full with the front faces. I think one triangle is a little messed up.

After I finish my crab tonight i'm going to double check the snarknest pattern and make one. I have allready cut out all of the neccessary peices to make the second half of the crab. Tip mark an M & N on the peices. Mirror & Normal.
 
quick question with the snark...I see

"Front Leg"
and "Rear Leg"

not "legs" do I need to print that page out twice? or am I simply missing something? :D

And as for the front, yea, one was a little too long, but no biggie at all. Already done with that (Note to all people: Felt = BAD MATERIAL TO WORK WITH!!! You can EASILY tear it, and I'm using a more fabric felt for this...)

ahh, oh well. Going to finish up the back then call it a night. long day ahead of me tomorrow

mirror the peices, turn them over, You have the design to make 1/2 of a snark to make the other half just turn the peices over.

45% done with the second half of headcrab
 
OHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OK!!! Now this is making ALOT more sence!

ok, no problems now. :D That means I'm finished with page 1 of 4. :D The legs should go alot faster if I'm not mistaken...

OK, I'll (Hopefully) finish it off tomorrow. depends on when I get home. :D
 
Slashandburn, thank you for your services in supplying me with a plan for a plush headcrab.
 
you should start making these and sell them for lazy people like me who dont wanna sew. if you could make one that fits over your head that would be sweet.
 
this should be stickied

NOW
plush headcrab is kickass

I've been thinking of that. But trying to think of a way to sell my services + material cost, not the object.

Nice
does it fit over your face?

Nope, but i can think of a good reason for this. The headcrabs in game life must be able to streatch themselves to latch onto people heads.
 
Now that we have plans for a plush lifesize headcrap, how about a plush lifesize Alyx!! :naughty:

DON'T talk about such things in this thread. It's the reason why the last one was shut down.
 
Crowbar?

Slashandburn, all these patterns are awesome. I'm going to start making some as soon as I can get fabric.

I'd like to request a pattern for a plush life-size crowbar, to go along with the headcrabs. And whack your friends over the head with. That'd be awesome. :D

Crowbar... Sounds easy. I will have it done soon.
 
A crowbar would defiantly be awesome.

I'd love to know how to make a Hound Eye. I'd probably stick a squeaky toy inside of it.

yeah, the plans are for 1 half, so reverse them all and you'll have the parts for the second half
 
I'll send you 15 bucks if you'll make one and Fedex to me by christmas.

Edit: Nevermind I saw the EBay link.
