A fuzzy onesie with tall ears on the hood and a huge grin of white felt teeth across the chest. The cuddliest monster in the room. Forty minutes, easy: fuzzy one-piece pajamas or a sweatsuit, white felt for the teeth, and felt for the ears. The teeth should be oversized and goofy; neat little teeth read as cute, big ones read as funny.

- Optional pro finish: glue two smaller teeth to the sleeve cuffs as claws.

Common questions
How is this different from the other plush monsters?
This one grins with big felt teeth instead of a stitched smile, and the keychain ring makes it the collectible of the group.
Will the felt teeth stay on?
Yes if the glue dries fully: press each tooth for thirty seconds and let the onesie sit flat for an hour before wearing.
