Unfortunately for bento lovers, no bento blog today either. But fortunately for ZIM fans, it’s another Invader ZIM related stuffed stuff blog.
This is something I made a looooong time ago. Actually I think it’s older than Piggy.
stuffed stuff: Mini-Moose
Created and stuffed: August 2004-ish
There are a couple of different types of Moose in Invader ZIM. This is a Mini-Moose which GIR (a dog suit wearing robot) has in some episodes.
I’ve made a Mini-Moose bento before which had two different kinds of Mini-Moose.
As you can see, this one was very easy. Two pieces for the body, two pieces for the hands and leg, two pieces for the antlers.
GIR: "Say moosey fate!"
This one in the picture is probably from the very first batch of Mini-Moose I made. I had given away all my Mini-Moose to my friends, but fortunately, my co-worker had it on his desk at work, so I borrowed it from him.
ZIM: "But I chose this particular worm hole especially for the occasion..."
"You see, at the end of this wormhole lies..."
"A ROOM with a MOOSE!!"
DIB: "AAAAHHHH--? Wait a minute!"
My first batch of Mini-Moose was actually a bit bigger than the ones I gave to the cast members of Invader ZIM on the end of interviews on DVD. I had found a bunch of toys that squeak at a 99 cents store, took out the squeaky things, and put it inside Mini-Moose. Unfortunately, this Mini-Moose doesn’t squeak when squeezed. You can see the cast members squeezing it to make it squeak in their interview as well. (I’ll post some pictures from the interview later.)
The office move totally messed up my bento schedule, but I’ll be packing bento next week!
I didn’t post all the pictures of Mini-Moose on here, so if you want to see more pictures of him, please check them out on my flickr page.

I was born in Japan, lived in New York for a while and now living in San Diego, California. I love creating things with my hands in my free time whether it’s making character bento or stuffing stuff! And now I'm working for

Very cute!
Looking at your mini moose made my day, the corresponding bento is adorable too!
You should make a tutorial on how to make minimoose and piggy. Why don’t you make some and sell them? I would buy, lol.
i have been looking for a mini-moose!
i agree…you should make these and sell them…or atleast put up instructions so people (ie me) can recreate them! :]
can i have one?
Yes i would buy one too. I’ve been after one for my boyfriend, because we both love Zim and I can’t find them anywhere!
Your’s are the best I’ve seen. Is there any chance you might sell them, or provide a pattern to follow. I know Moose and Piggy would both make him smile a lot!
MINI MOOSE IS PURPLE
Lol you should sell em!
Maybe I should’ve made the description a bit clearer. This is not the mini-moose from “the Most Horrible Xmas Ever.” It’s this guy.
Do you happen to have a gir? 0_0
and if so, a pattern to go along with it??
Sell me one!!! D:
As other people have already previously posted, I would simply love to buy one from you. A piggy as well.
If not though, however, perhaps you’ll share some tips on making each Invader Zim plush you’ve posted? That would be greatly appreciated.
Saw the interview also, first actually, and enjoyed seeing the main cast talk about their characters!
Hi, theres a really special girl in my life that wants this doll like crazy and I was wondering if there was anyway I could buy one of them from you?
Hi Blaze
Unfortunately, my plush is not for sale. =( But mini-moose is the easiest plush I made, you just have to trace the shape of mini-moose, cut fabrics and sew! The body, arms, legs and antlers are two-piece pattern. (The same shape, front and back.) I used fleece but if you can’t get fleece, you can use felt too. (It might not be as fluffy as fleece though) Good luck and email me if you have any questions at annathered[at]gmail.com!
hi there!
very cute work!!!
can you send pattern/shape of the parts by email or publish them?
I’m glad that you like it but unfortunately I don’t share my patterns! Sorry!
Hello, it is someones birthday coming up soon and I wanted to get them a special gift and their favorite character is minimoose from invader zim. I was wondering if you could make one for her, if you can I will pay for shipping and handling, along with the plushie obviously. I would be very greatful.
