A fuzzy one-piece, giant ears, a stitched smile, and an oversized collector tag. The tag is what makes it plush, not pajamas. About twenty-five minutes, easy: fuzzy one-piece pajamas or a sweatsuit, felt ears, and fabric glue. The tag should hang from the ear like a price tag.

Steps
- Cut the eyes and smile from paper first.
- Lay them on the pajama chest to check the size and spacing.
- Glued felt cannot be moved, so check first.
- Cut two white felt eyes and a stitched-look smile from the black felt.
- Glue them to the chest of the fuzzy pajamas.
- Write a collector number like 'No.
- 001' on the large shipping tag.
- Tie the tag to the wrist or waistband with string.
- Wear the fuzzy pajamas with the felt ears and tag showing.
- Optional pro finish: draw the smile with dashed lines using a white fabric marker.

Common questions
How do the ears stay on the hood?
Fabric glue with the hood laid flat, left to dry for 30 minutes before wearing. For a same-night build, safety-pin them from inside the hood instead, pins hold immediately.
What do you write on the shipping tag?
A collector number like 'No. 001' plus the plush name. The tag is the joke, so make it look official: big number, neat letters.
