Crafty Fox Plushie

In the spirit of CraftFoxes, you can make this adorable felt fox plush. It's a perfect gift for a child, animal lover, or foxy friend. Materials: pencil parchment paper scissors black, white and orange felt fiberfill sewing thread sewing needle embroidery thread embroidery needle

Step 1

Draw the fox onto parchment paper with a pencil.

Step 2

Transfer the pattern and cut shapes out of black, white, and orange felt. Cut an extra piece out of any color for the back.

Step 3

Arrange shapes as in the photograph. Sew in place using a straight stitch.

Step 4

Thread embroidery needle with embroidery thread. Use a backstitch to create a mouth.

Step 5

Align back piece with front. Use a blanket stitch around the outside edges to sew the front and back together. Leave a 1-inch opening along the bottom.

Step 6

Stuff with fiberfill.

Step 7

Use a whip stitch along the bottom to sew it closed. For a fun option, hot glue googly eyes on the fox instead of using felt.
