A lonely otaku desperate to sleep with Cure Pine but unable to obtain any dakimakura of her has taken matters into his own hands and made a DIY dakimakura of her, with the finished article being of surprising quality, economy, and ease of manufacture.
He shared the secrets of her manufacture with 2ch, as reproduced below.
The guide:
My wife’s dakimakura is sold out… there’s nothing for it but to make her myself!
Materials:
Dakimakura (the pillow itself)
Dakimakura cover
The picture you want to print [an unofficial picture of Cure Pine in this case]
Iron print paper
Tools:
Inkjet printer
Cutter
Cellophane tape
Ruler
[Summary instructions:
First magnify and print the picture as a poster on multiple A4 sheets to test its fit. The standard size for a dakimakura is about 120cmx40cm.
Then print to the iron-on paper, remembering to reverse the image as it will be transferred back to front.
After this trim off the excess paper, leaving 5mm or so around the edge of the image.
Next, tape the cut sheets together – take care they do not have gaps or can become unstuck.
It’s important to read the instructions for the paper – in my case, the sheets were made by Epson and stated they should only be used on pure cotton fabrics.
Next you place the sheets onto the cover, which you should lay on a firm, flat surface – on the floor with some newspapers will do. Then iron it on, following the instructions given with the paper.
Once it is finished you peel off the paper, taking special care to make sure it comes off properly and that everything adhered OK.]
My thoughts on making it:
Good:
It is cheap, 1270 for the pillow, 780 for the cover, and 2000 for the paper, so 4050 in total. You can make it with any picture you like.
Bad:
Depending on the size of the original the print can turn out rough. The printed side doesn’t feel so good. It may not be very durable, although some say they have had them for over a year without degradation.

I'm loving it.
That bed... I'm feeling sleepy right now :)

Yes there always is

I must say, this is very impressive. Now give us an instruction on how to make a dakimakura that can hug us back (that cross dakimakura), or a perfect ona-hole.
How about an instruction on how to make an oppai mouse pad?
Seconded~
third-ed
fourth... oh well, you got it.
Best part of all this is, I said back in the Dakimakura that hugs you that people could make there own for far far less then what they sell for, and look at that, someone did. Admittedly this is a really cheap job of it but with practice it could last a while.
Get a girlfriend, place mouse on her stomach, enjoy...
The fact that you state that proves that you never try doing it, nor even having a girlfriend at the first place.
Mouse doesn't work well on human skin, dumbass.
>Implying a 3DPD girlfriend is something to give a shit about.
wow someones mad at there life XD
My optical mouse works fine on my skin, I dont see why it would magically stop working on someone elses.
Geez. One pig squeals about A, another about B. That's why they never get to third base.
Implying only to cheap laser mouse or those ancient roller mouse. Tested my my skin, and it have no problem moving smoothly.
Mouse don't work when its on a flat pure smooth surface. Taking example mirrors or smooth plastic. And if it doesn't work somehow on your smooth plastic-like skin of yours. Its doesn't meant that others are dumbass and you would be right on your baseless fact.
It seems to work just fine on mine.
optical mouse actually works very well on skin. because skin has high micro-roughness. the downside is high contact friction on the skin, making it less smooth moving for the mouse.
but yeah, no one probably cares...
Tried but failed. Human skin make the mouse movement speed goes uncontrollably hard.
apparently you don't have a Performance MX works on my glass desk...works on my skin...yeah I think its time for you to upgrade..
am i the only one who lets her boyfriend actually do this? it tickles! ^o^
to all those comments above that state "on human skin..." i'm guessing it would be different with dog skin? how about reptile skin?? dumbasses....
bore a hole and stick a fleshlight down there, voila!
Need some photoshopping first of course. Actually not a bad idea.
i settle to know how to get out those yellowish stains, without hurting the design, that come out after you cum over your dakimakura.
Time to buy the materials and tools listed to make my own.
Share the pic later bro :3
Maybe i'll do a custom t-shirt first when i get the tools and materials.
is your pic the one you're making...?
@shirayuki619 Maybe something else.
I'd like to make one with Anaru on...
Make those boobies of hers too.
I'd like to make one with with an Anaru in it ...
He pined to sleep with her, through hard work, imagination and creativity. Such, is life of a dedicated person.
teehee "/pine/d"
I see what you did there.
You're my hero, dude. Now it's time for me to custom make my own Victorique and Lieselotte Achenbach dakimakuras.
It was all fun and happy daimakura life until one day he wakes up with paper cuts all over his face...
"Once it is finished you peel off the paper"
I rather fear he'd wake up dead, murdered by his dakimakura.
You know what they say about inanimate stuff, about how they acquire soul if you treat them like humans. But otakus have short dedication span. A new moe anime comes in with a new character to wank with, and it's "Bye bye, bitch". Then the old dakimakura will have its revenge.
**cue horrifying violin BGM**
Man, at first I thought his wife wasn't willing enough to share her Dakimakura, so he had to make his own.
This article...one word...Genius!
That's one badass wife I'd like to have.
His wife would prolly be a macho-ota. SOoooo...you really want to borrow that pillow?
watchout for jealous girls who'd bash you
or choke you in your sleep.
yandere sounds good to me :)
Macguyver otaku among otaku
Or you could order a Chinese bootleg for just as much.
Although I commend his dedication.
This one is more preferable. You may need to work a little but at least you get to choose the exact artwork and character you always wanted to hug.
Plus, you can save your life from the risk of exploding yourself with it in the middle of the night.
