I have no clue how you make round things.

Petsmart has cat toy versions for .77 cents, so I will probably get some of those. Because I need a lot, I can't really afford ten bucks a tribble. 4 bucks is reasonable, but I'm worried about ordering them from an unknown source and not having them arrive in time.

I'd offer to make some, but I really have no clue how. I don't think you want flat-ish roadkill tribbles, not at a wedding, and that's all I could probably produce.
Good luck.

Lol, neither do I. Well, my plan is to make some fur pockets, stuff 'em with cotton and sew up the end. I'm assuming this will work because the show was on a tight budget and time constraint, and yet somehow they managed to make hundreds. So my wedding being on a tight budget and time constraint can probably manage at least a few per table. XD

I wouldn't mind making some. I've made them before, but it's been years. The one tribble I kept for myself got thrown in the trash by someone who didn't know any better.

Anyway, how many did you need?

twilightspeaks May 29 2011, 03:50:32 UTC

As many as I can afford, mostly fist-sized or orange-sized ones. The more the merrier with tribbles.

Who would throw away a tribble? /'.'\ I'll probably not be allowed to keep all the tribbles I accumulate after the wedding, but I won't let any tribbles go into the trash. Tribbles need good homes!

Someone who didn't know any better, that's who would throw away a Tribble.

But anyhow, let me scrounge up some fur and brush up on my sewing skills.

i could whip some up hatchepsut May 29 2011, 05:44:41 UTC

Maybe four or five. I havew some tan brown furr. But no filling. Maybe enough black beans or rice for one. But enough fur to make a few handfuls of tribbles. I can maybe sew one a night , probably more, but I'll erstimate on lazy. I can start tomorrow. I can mail them off to you when done, but remeber I have no filling... oh wait I may have some polyfill enough for one or two. Email me your post address. Daveewo at gmail.
