    Items you'll need to have on hand for our Felt Softies:

    • felt scraps
    • thread (we used embroidery floss)
    • needle
    • scissors
    • pins
    • hot glue or fabric glue*
    • paper to print pattern template

    Tips for Sewing Softies

    • It's not a great time to be heading to the store to pick up supplies with the government encouraging us to stay at home. That's ok! Just work with what you have. If you don't have any stuffing to fill your softie, you can use a sock or even a plastic grocery bag (it'll sound crinkly!).
    • I had a lot of felt scraps left over from previous projects, but not everyone has a stash like mine and that's totally okay! If you don't have felt, you can use other fabric scraps. I like using felt or fleece because these types of fabric don't fray. If you use cotton, the edges will fray, but it will still be a cute softie! These heart plushies are made out of cotton. We cut the fabric out using pinking shears (decorative sewing scissors) which helps the edges not fray.
    • You can sew your entire softie or glue your entire softie. It's up to you. We will be using a combination of sewing and gluing in our step by step photo instructions and video. You still get the cute stitched look, but don't have to sew every tiny detail on by hand.
    • Get creative! Use different colors of felt, add buttons if you'd like---have fun!

    *Hot glue dries fast, but fabric glue is easier for kids to work with. If using fabric glue, allow time for drying.

    Notes

    You can sew your entire project or glue your entire project. We used a combination of sewing and gluing. Hot glue works best when gluing felt, but fabric glue is safer for kids (prevents burns). If using fabric glue, allow some time for the pieces to dry.

    The designs for our animal softies were inspired by this clip art that I found on shutterstock.
