I made this about when those plush Alien facehuggers came out. You just need silver cloth, grey craft felt (the stiff kind), some stuffing, and patterns for sewing spheres (you can find that last one here, pinterest.com/pin/116882552799088458/ , or www.pjb.com.au/jug/leatherballs.html ). The construction is fairly apparent. I'm lazy enough that I don't even hand stitch that last seam once the sphere is turned right side out; that way I can just use the sphere like a finger puppet.

Can't believe we missed this thread! What a cool homemade collectible. How sturdy is it, I wonder? I'm sure Angus would love to give this to his pup as a toy!
Anybody remember the Phantasm Nerf Sphere image from a few years back?

Well, I wouldn't consider these sturdy enough for a dog toy, but I have seen some silver finished leathers that might work (I'd have to take a long look at the ingredients in that leather, though).
