(re)Making My Own Baby Yoda! || "The Child" DIY

So last year, I was set on making my own version of The Child from The Mandalorian, but pretty much RIGHT after I made him, I uh.... dropped him (mom of the year). I also wasn't super satisfied with the end result in the first place, so I decided he needed a glow-up of sorts. I wanted to switch up the techniques and materials I used, and make a whole new version!
I hope you guys enjoy!
