Sewing Facial Details on Plush Amigurumi | Add Personality with Just a Few Easy Stitches!

Adding facial details to crocheted animals is so much fun because it makes their personalities shine through! Mix and match with eyelashes, pink cheeks, and other little details to make your animal unique. :)

In this video, I show how to embroider different details that I use all the time – stitches around the safety eyes, eyebrows, noses, and smiles! I also show how to secure these sewn details when your piece is open or closed, and how to use fabric glue to make them even more secure. See the timestamps below to skip to a specific spot.
