Tips on how to make a Kishan stuffed tiger

KISHAN STUFFED TIGER

Since so many of you have asked about this, we’ve decided to do a blog dedicated to the making of a Kishan stuffed animal!

 

Just follow the steps below:

Step 1

Buy supplies:

-A white tiger (size you want)

-Black (75) Darma Pigment Fabric Paint

- A wire brush

-A bristle brush

-Rubber gloves

-Spray bottle (mix black fabric paint with water to desired color in bottle) *be sure to test it on white color plush toy before using on your white tiger

-Black gloss acrylic paint for eyes

-Metallic gold acrylic paint for eyes

-Fine paint brush

Step 2

-Prepare work area in garage or outside, protect table or whatever surface you are working on.

- With rubber gloves on, spray watered down black fabric paint mix on tiger and brush plush fur as you go, working the paint into the fur (may stain clothes so be careful).

- Work color into a small area then move on to a new area on the tiger until all areas of the tiger are colored.

- The white tiger should turn dark grey and the stripes should still be visible.

- When you are satisfied with the amount of color, allow to dry in protected area. *The dye will come off on your hands if it is not completely dry.

 

Step 3

- Once the fur is completely dry, it is time to paint the eyes. Use the acrylic paints to get the gold color of Kishan with black pupils. Allow to dry.

Step 4

- You should have a finished Kishan stuffed tiger!!! So, snuggle up and enjoy!!

I hope you have fun making your very own Kishan stuffed tiger!!
