🛠️ Step-by-Step DIY Felt Fox Instructions

1. Cut the Felt Pieces

Trace the included template onto your felt fabric. Cut out body parts: two body halves, tail, arms, legs, ears, and facial features.

2. Embroider the Face

Use backstitch or running stitch to sew the nose, eyes, and mouth onto the front body panel.

3. Sew the Body and Limbs

Sew the limbs and body pieces with a blanket stitch or whip stitch, leaving small gaps to insert stuffing. Turn the pieces inside out for a clean finish.

4. Stuff with Polyfill

Fill the limbs and body with polyfill until plush but not overstuffed.

5. Assemble and Stitch

Attach the arms, legs, ears, and tail to the main body with tight hand stitches. Use ladder stitch to close any openings.

Shape the ears and tail, add optional blush with marker or felt, and customize your felt fox plush with buttons or accessories.
