DIY Plush Skull Sewing Pattern: Craft Your Own Spooky Skull

Get ready to dive into the world of spooky sewing with the DIY Plush Skull sewing pattern! If you love all things Halloween or simply enjoy crafting unique, one-of-a-kind plushies, this pattern is perfect for you. This plush skull is AWESOME—and I’m not just saying that because I made it! Measuring 9" x 9", it’s the actual size of a human skull, making it a truly authentic and fun project.

What You’ll Need:

  • Fabric: I used a tie-dye gray anti-pill fabric from Joann. The subtle variation in the gray tones adds a perfect eerie effect that brings this plush skull to life.
