DIY morphed beaniebabies

You may ask "what is a DIY beanie-baby?" 
Well, the answer is simple. A morphed beanie baby. Here's what you do: 
1. Get a normal beanie baby
2. Cut off ALL of the tags
3. Use the scissors to cut off all four legs. Start at the top of the leg ( by the body-where the stitching is) and make a circle around until the leg is completely off.

Cut where the dotted lines are
4. Then be very careful and do the same to the head-cutting all of the stitching. If it has a tail do the same also.
5. Get another beanie baby and repeat these steps.
6. Take apart as many beanie babies as you want. 
7. Chose a body, 4 legs, a head, and a tail if you want.
8. Turn your beanie baby inside out. Along with all of the body parts
9. Start sewing the legs on to the body. The leg should fit in the hole in the body where the previous leg was. Sew all 4 legs of your choice on the body.
10. The head is very hard. Sew the head in where the previous head was. be very careful.
11. Turn your beanie baby over so it is laying on it's back. Cut a small slit through it's belly. At least 2 inches depending on how big the body is.
12. You are going to use the slit to turn the beanie baby normal(not inside out) to do this reach inside the slit and grab the head. Pull it out along with the legs.
13. Use the stuffing to stuff the head and legs only.
14.Get a Small Plastic sandwich stuff it with the "beans" from the beanie babies.
15. Put the bag in the body.
 16. Sew up the slit.
17. tada! Your done! It was long, but worth the end result. It took me a few days to do this. Sorry if it was confusing.
