Weekender with Wanda – Winter Plush Animals!

Hi everyone! Greetings of the Winter season! It’s time for another edition of Weekender with Wanda here on the SSS Blog. I’m back today to share a fun felt project with you! If you follow my personal blog, then you already know that I am pretty obsessed with making felties with the Exclusive Simon Says Stamp Plush Dies! I think I have made (at least) one of each one. They are a cheerful project to work on, and the finished cute animals bring a smile to whoever I give them too. I thought it would be neat to make Winter versions of some of the animals I’ve already made. So, today I introduce Winter Fox, Snow Bunny and Winter Owl! I used soft shades of grey and cream and then accented with pops of beautiful red felt.

You can use these finished felties as package tie ons, pins to wear, Christmas tree ornaments, decorations, and lots of other things! You can change the look to fit any theme. I hope you’ll try it!

The Winter Fox (Gentle Fox Plush Die) is a pretty grey fox with pink ears and cream accents. to make his scarf, I cut a strip of red felt and then cut into the edges to make fringe. I wrapped it around his neck and did a quick stitch to hold it in place.

I like to use Doodlebug Enamel Dots for the eyes on my felt animals. I like that they are shiny and you can choose from several sizes to fit the look you want.

Here is the little white snowy bunny (Plush Baby Bunny Die)! I used the bow tie from another die to give him a dapper red tie for Christmas! I also used a white pom pom for his tail. Use Felt Glue to attach the accents! So easy!

And the wee little Winter Owl (Plush Baby Owl Die)! He’s so cute! He is showing his love with a pretty red heart on his chest. To give the animals rosy pink cheeks, I used a brush and a bit of SSS Hollyhock Ink! I think that gives just a little extra touch of cute!

  1. These animals are so cute! I LOVE that fox!! My favorite holiday craft project is pretty typical – I love making Christmas cards with a close second being making ornaments. Felt ornaments are a particular favorite!

  2. Oh wow, they are cute and that stitching is perfect! I love decorating glass ornaments with my kids–we’ve done paint, inside and out, glitter, ribbons, etc. So fun! Thanks for sharing.

    My all time FAVORITE CRAFT for Christmas, would be…..GIFTS FOR OTHERS! There is NOTHING LIKE making your gifts! The time & effort put into each one, & making them individualized for the receiver! I think the next best thing, would be to give the receiver supplies for making their crafts! ;)To help them with their creativity!

  5. I love this time of year! So many cards to make! I send about 35 cards each Christmas. I have no idea if I will get them done! Then there are my sisters’ birthdays, Valentine’s Day, St. Patrick’s Day, followed by Easter – a busy, busy cardmaking time!
    The plush dies would make fun projects to do with my eleven year old granddaughter!

  6. These cuties are just adorable. I do want to start making them. I am into Pom Poms right now and, of course, holiday cards.

  7. Love your winter version of the felt critters! So adorable. I like knitting socks with the self striping yarn so they end up with patterns as you knit along. They are cozy for winter and really impressive looking handmade gifts.
