Tiny Stuffed 34 Humorous Motifs Tiny, Animals

Let’s try making these tiny, laid-back stuffed animals that’ll make you chuckle!

The author, aska., is a stuffed animal artist based primarily in the Kansai region who also holds exhibitions in the Kanto region and overseas. Her hand-stitched creations include not only animals like bears and rabbits, but also quirky items such as cigarettes, ham and eggs, and kettles. They’re characterized by their small size—they fit perfectly in the palm of your hand—their wide, curious eyes, and their slightly visible front teeth. Her creations sell out in minutes whenever they go on sale, and she has passionate fans even overseas.

This book features instructions for 34 projects, focusing on the stuffed animals aska. has created so far. The animals stand about 5 cm tall when upright. Start by mastering the basics with the bear, then try your hand at making increasingly unique stuffed animals, such as rabbits, band-aids, and salmon roe gunkan-maki!
