During The Clone Wars episode "Innocents of Ryloth" a five-year-old Twi'lek girl called Numa helps the clone troopers as they try to help her people who are being held captive by droids under Separatist leader Wat Tambor's orders. In the episode, clone trooper Waxer finds Numa's tooka doll and returns it to the grateful girl.
Learn how to make your own tooka doll just like Numa's with this easy craft!
What You Need:
- Light purple and beige colored felt squares
- Pillow stuffing
- Tan, black and purple colored thread
- Sewing needle
- Scissors
- Straight pins
- Chopsticks
- Buttons (for eyes)
- Doll Pattern
Here's a photo for reference to look at as you're making the doll:
Instructions:
1. Print and cut out this doll pattern, or make your own by looking at the reference image of Numa's doll from above. Secure the pattern to two pieces of purple felt with straight pins. Then cut the felt.
2. Hand sew the two pieces of purple felt together but keep a hole open so you can turn the sewn piece inside out and then fill with pillow stuffing. Use a chopstick to push the stuffing in hard to reach places like the arms, legs and head area. Then sew closed.
3. Cut out long triangles and sew together to make a cone. Add stuffing to the ends of the cones to fill them out. Then fit them over the head piece and sew down. Do the same to cover the hands and feet of the doll.
4. Cut out long strips of purple felt and sew them onto the head cones just like Numa's doll has in the episode.
5. Don't forget to sew on the button eyes so it can see you smile when you finish!
6. Now that you're done with the tooka doll, don't lose it; unless of course you need the help of a friendly clone trooper.
