Are you a nerd who lacks a protoplasmic alien organism in your life and, to remedy this, wish to make one of your own? Then you have come to the right place! With step-by-step instructions and lots of pictures, I will guide you through the magical process of bringing a metroid plushie into existence. That said, this is an image-intensive tutorial, so loading times may be slow.

This guide is made for people who have at least a little experience with sewing or a willingness to learn through trial and error. Or maybe a good friend who knows how to sew? Anyways, metroids are easy and cheap to make; I bought enough material for 10 metroids with only $20.

Also, it has come to my attention that some people are making plushies using this pattern and selling them. I don't mind that too much, but please link back to this site if you do so and give me proper credit!

There! You're all done. Or are you having some trouble? Either way, you can comment, ask for help, or show off a picture of your squishy new friend in this thread on Platformers.net. I'll be monitoring the thread, so it's easier to get in contact with me there than through email. And if you post a picture, I might add it to the photo gallery!
