Weekender with Wanda – Winter Plush Animals!

weekenderwithwanda_638x250 (1)

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. My favorite Christmas craft project is my Christmas cards – love making them. These little ornaments are adorable !

  2. Awww so adorable! My favourite holiday crafting would be making 3D boxes and gift bags and filling them with home made cookies to gift to family and friends over the holiday season. Have a most wonderful day. Cheers Donna Z :)

  3. Each year I create a twig tree(from branches in my yard) and decorate it with little snowmen ornaments. Since it’s a snowman tree, it stays up thru the winter. My grandsons love it and so do I! A little plush snowman would look fantastic on it! :) I especially love the little owl and he could drop by for a visit!

  4. These are adorable! I especially love the little owl. I would totally make these as tree ornaments and also tags for those special gifts throughout the year. I would love to win one of the dies!

  5. Goodness they’re cute, I think the owl made me blush back at him! Thanks for sharing this sweet inspiration :)

  6. Squeal!! These are so adorable and I love those enamel dot eyes on the fox! My favorite holiday crafts are gift tags. I like to let my two girls help and we make a fun mess!

  7. My favourite Christmas craft is that of making Christmas cards. This year I made 67 cards for the local Senior home.

  8. simply adorable, great color choice I esp love the grey fox…is that something you also say in America silver fox? to an elderly gentleman? anyway well done!

  9. I love the use of the gray for the animals. I need to try that next time I make some. Love all of the projects but the owl is calling me!

  10. Ooh that would be a hard choice to choose one of the animals.
    I love them all.
    Looks like a ton of fun.
    So festive!
    These would make great package tie-ones.

  11. My favourite project for Xmas this year has been a little grey board winter house painted white with white flower soft for snow and white glitter for ice. I made the windows look like stained glass with some coloured acetate. There are bottle brushes in the yard too with glitter and flower soft all over them.

  12. These are fabulous! My favourite Winter Holiday crafting project is making custom Christmas cards for my mom and sister. Love to add personal elements to make the cards meaningful for them.

  13. I like these cute winter versions. I love working on felt and having been making some felt creations for Christmas projects.

  14. Super cute critters!!…love these felties! I’ve been making holiday cards for friends and family, and have made several tag/ornaments for coworkers…Holiday crafting in full swing!!

  15. Just adorable. I wanted to make some this year to hand out for Christmas presents, but the floss and felt all got pack for our move in January so that won’t happen :) Love the colors you used on the animals. Love them!!

    1. My favorite Winter Holiday crafting project has becoming making my Christmas cards. I used to just make photo cards, but now I make my own cards and put the photo inside, best of both worlds.

  16. Oh my goodness the little owl cracks me up! I haven’t attempted these adorable felt projects. My favorite winter project extends all year round and it is card making. Thank you for sharing your sweet Felties!

  17. they are so cute especially the owl. put a string on them and they would make great tree ornaments or dangle them on a present!
