DIY Scuttle’s Body: Sewing, Stuffing & Furry Hair Styling (The Little Mermaid DIY Part 4)

In Part 4 of the series on creating a Scuttle doll from Disney's Little Mermaid, I sew the bird's body together, fill it with synthepone, and add a funny fur hairstyle! This step is perfect for handmade enthusiasts, Disney fans and those who want to learn mixed techniques in doll making. When creating molds I always make them roughly and try to match the exact shape of the character. In fact, to draw a suitable mold is not always possible, but you can always correct the first rejected version.

✨ What you will see in the video:

Sewing the body: I create a pattern and sew the parts for a perfect fit to the frame.

Filling with syntepon: How to achieve softness and volume while maintaining shape. It is important that when wrapping the wire it is not palpable to the touch.

Fur hairstyle: I glue the long fur to the head to convey Scuttle's signature “disheveled” look.

Seam Masking: I use trimmed fur to hide the seams and create a seamless look. This process is intricate painstaking and takes practice.

🔧 Materials:

Faux fur (long and short).

Syntepon (eco-friendly filler).


Textile glue and sewing tools.
