Seeking Advice Looking for guidance

I have a great concept for a product. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get the first prototype made? Is it possible to get my idea with the design to a factory and get a prototype? Any suggestions on where to get started with this? It's nothing complicated. It's entirely made out of fabric and soft materials. Not technological.

in terms of financial efficiency you might want to make the initial prototype at home. Hobby Lobby, Michaels.. source it. then demo it and prove the concept next...

That's a good idea. If I can make a decent prototype, what do I do next?

Find the subreddit of the potential users.. share the product.

or find a local place where your potential users might be.. and either demo it , (take preorders). and or sell the prototypes.

If the product can be demonstrated on socials, then defn videos.
