Project 1 - Stuffed Toy Alien

I was looking around the dump I call my room the other day when I noticed a pile of costumes that I got from my old high school, most of the stuff in it I use occasionaly (costume parties are big at the moment) but one of the pieces I don't use is a gold scarf/shawl with black fringe trimming. I'm not sure exactly what the material is but it is really crinkly and rough, so I couldn't make clothes or the like out of it.


Usually I don't like aliens but I just thought this would be the perfect material to make a little alien out of. Here's a sketch of what I am hoping it will look like:


I think he looks kinda cute his body will be made out of the gold material, his eyes and nose will be blac material and his mouth and the little planet (or it could end up being a star) will be hand stitched with black thread. I am not yet sure wether I will give him antennas or not, or if I do how they will be.

These are the templates I have cut out so far (only half of them though, minus ears, eyes, nose and possible antennas) they are on note paper at the moment will be transferring them to something else. Hopefully he won't take that long to do. I will post more pictures as he progresses/when finished.
