What kind of commissions do you accept?
I accept commissions for plush dolls, face masks, doll clothes, and embroidered patches. Commission slots are limited and made available throughout the year. Availability of slots will depend on the amount of work I can handle. Please note that plush making is not my full-time job. I will announce commission slots through my social media accounts on Instagram, Facebook, etc. Thank you for your interest!


Price Guidelines
To request a quote, please contact me. Prices will vary based on the design and complexity of the item. Please note that more details may result in higher costs. Plush doll accessories and clothing will also add to the cost. A small item does not guarantee a lower price. The cost will include materials, equipment, pattern, detailing, cost of labor, and delivery cost. The initial quote will include two (reasonable) rounds of revisions. Any additional revisions beyond that will incur additional costs. Quotes are valid for six (6) months.
I use a variety of fabrics and techniques to create plush dolls. Face designs and small details may be machine embroidered, hand-sewn, hand-painted, or created using thread sculpting.

Payment, Cancellation, and Refunds
Payment for commissions may be made in full or in installments. A non-refundable deposit of 50% is required before I begin work on the commission. Final payment must be received after I send the first work-in-progress photo or video. I will provide an invoice to confirm that I have accepted the commission request. Please note that there will be no refunds except when I am unable to complete the work. Cancellation and refund requests are only allowed before work begins. The client will be responsible for any fees charged to my account.
If the balance is not paid within 60 days, the commission order will be considered abandoned. The deposit for abandoned commission orders will be forfeited and the item will be sold to the next interested buyer.

Payment channels:

  • Paypal, Wise (International, USD)

  • Bank, e-cash transfer (Local, PHP)

Work Schedule
I am committed to delivering high-quality work, and I understand that each order is unique. Therefore, I am unable to accept deadlines. The time of completion varies greatly, and unforeseen delays could happen. I will do my best to inform clients if I am unable to work or if I need to take a break to avoid stress and burnout. I was diagnosed with CTS (Carpal Tunnel Syndrome), which requires me to take breaks more often. This has shortened my sewing time from 8 hours to 2-4 hours a day. Your patience is appreciated as it ensures the project's quality.


Work PolicyOliveCubes is not a factory and cannot mass produce. However, I may accept bulk orders with reasonable quantity and deadline. Please note that the dolls I make are not suitable for small children. I cater mostly to individuals and hobbyists. Before asking for a quote or commission, I encourage you to research my work to ensure that my style matches your taste. I try my best to follow references, but my personal style will naturally show on each work that I make.Please be aware that there are limitations with the available fabric colors, patterns, and threads. I stay within the boundaries of what is available to me to create high-quality work. All preparation materials, visuals, sketches, and electronic files used to create the project remain the property of OliveCubes®.

Design PolicyI take pride in creating unique and original designs that are tailored to your preferences. Therefore, I do not make the following:

  • Designs based on another plush artist's work or copied from their work.

  • Copies of mass-produced designs.

  • Designs that are overly complicated or detailed.

  • Designs that have too many colors, patterns, gradients, details, or props.

  • Designs that I perceive I cannot make or are uncomfortable with.

Other important information:

  • I will put a tag with my name on all finished commissions.

  • You are paying for the finished item, not the pattern nor the file. This also applies to original characters/designs. You cannot claim the pattern and file as yours.

  • I have the right to remake a design to sell, except for original characters/designs.

  • I will post finished work to my social media and gallery/portfolio.

  • I reserve the right to refuse a commission.

Care and Maintenance

How to care and maintain your plush doll/soft toysMachine wash:
▪ Place the plush doll inside a mesh laundry bag or a pillow case. This protects your plush doll from snagging or being pummeled too much in the machine
▪ Always wash it on the gentle/delicate cycle. Use cool water and mild detergent
▪ Gently squeeze out excess water. Hang dry. If you need to use the dryer, use the lowest setting and do not hot tumble-dry.
Hand wash:
You will need:
▪ Clean toothbrush or washcloths
▪ Wash basin
▪ Laundry detergent
Directions:
▪ Dissolve your laundry detergent in cool water
▪ Dip your wash cloth into the detergent solution and squeeze out the excess water. In a circular motion, gently rub the outside of the plushie. Continue doing this until the whole plush doll is clean. If there are stains, dip the toothbrush into the detergent solution and very lightly scrub the stain to avoid damaging the plush doll. Leave to soak in soapy water if the stains won't come off
▪ Wet the other washcloth under cool running water leaving it fairly wet and rinse the plush doll in a circular motion. Rinse the wash cloth several times as needed to remove the detergent
▪ Gently squeeze out excess water. Hang to dry.
When the plush doll is dry, you may want to fluff it up and gently comb it.❌ DO NOT use bleach. DO NOT hot tumble-dry ❌
❗ The dolls that I make are not suitable for small children ❗


How to care and maintain your bags (ita-bag)Faux leather material
To keep bags made out of faux leather, I would recommend Wipeout Dirt and Stain Remover. This can be easily obtained locally (Philippines). It's cheap, easy to use, and you'll most likely find useful on cleaning other stuff. You can use it on leather, vinyl, shoes, appliances, laptop surfaces, glass, etc. This is what I use on my personal bags so they will stay nice and shiny. You will need a cleaning rag or paper towels. Dip the rag into the Wipeout tub then gently rub it on the area that you want to clean. Clean the area and use another rag if needed to remove the excess Wipeout and dirt.

Faux fur material
Please refer to the "How to care and maintain your plush doll/soft toys" section
Other materials
▪ Cotton: Hot Water Wash — Tumble Dry Warm
▪ Polyester: Cool Water Wash — Tumble Dry or Air Dry


How to care and maintain your embroidered patch
Don't wash or dry the fabric that has patches glued onto it using extreme heat -- hot water or an extremely hot dryer can soften the glue and cause the patches to come off. Wash on a cool setting, and dry on a medium or low setting.
Is it better to sew or iron on a patch?
Iron-on patches can be sewn on any fabric. Sewing on the patch is highly recommended if you are attaching patches to fabrics which are heat sensitive or if you will be laundering them frequently.


Repair, Maintenance, Restoration Policy
If you need plush doll repair, maintenance, and/or restoration, please contact me. This service is only applicable to plush dolls that I have made and not applicable to bags, patches, stickers, button pins, etc. I am also open to the idea of restoring plush dolls that I did not make. Please contact me to discuss further.
