After listening to some interesting fairy tale, children love to beat it in their games. Such games allow the child to remember the story again and, perhaps, even come up with its continuation. Chanterelle-sister is a frequent heroine of children's fairy tales. She, like other fairy-tale characters, can be sewn from felt so that the child can play with her and arrange small home performances.
To make a toy fox, we need:
- - white felt;
- - orange felt;
- - yellow felt with white polka dots;
- - synthetic winterizer;
- - green tape;
- - black beads;
- - scissors;
- - a needle;
- - threads of orange, white, yellow and black;
- - paper;
- - pencil.
The procedure for making a toy fox
1. Let's start making a fox with a pattern. The fox pattern consists of 8 parts - head, ear, nose, dress, tail, tail tip, front and hind legs. All of the listed details must be cut out of paper, observing their proportions and size.
2. When the paper blanks are ready, you can start cutting them out of felt. First, cut out the details from orange felt - tail (2 pcs.), Head (2 pcs.), Front paws (4 pcs.), Hind paws (4 pcs.).
3. Now you need to cut out the white parts - two ears, one nose and two parts for the tip of the tail.
4. It remains to cut out two details of the dress, we will cut them out of yellow felt with white polka dots. If there is no such felt, you can take a plain yellow felt or felt of some other color.
5. Now all the details for the toy fox are ready, you can start sewing them together. First, we sew the details of the dress with yellow threads using an overcast seam. Leave an open section at the bottom of the dress.
6. Now take the orange details of the tail and with white threads sew the white tips of the tail to them.
7. Put the details of the tail together and sew with orange threads, leaving a small hole on the side of the tail.
8. Let's start sewing the head. Take one part of the head and sew the part of the nose to it with white threads. At the top we sew the white details of the ears.
9. Sew the prepared part of the head with a sewn on nose and ears with the second part of the head with orange threads, leaving a hole for stuffing at the bottom.
10. The paws also need to be sewn with orange threads, leaving small holes for stuffing them with padding polyester.
11. To add volume to the toy, all the details must be filled with padding polyester, pushing it into the holes with a thin stick or knitting needle.
12. Sew holes on the paws and tail with orange threads.
13. Fix the head of the fox on the neck and carefully sew it with a hidden seam.
14. At the bottom of the dress, we left an unsewn section, now you need to put your hind legs into it and sew it with yellow threads, sewing at the same time the unsewn section on the dress.
15. Sew on the front paws at the top of the sides of the dress.
16. Turn the fox figurine over and sew the tail to the back of the dress.
17. Again, turn the fox figurine with its muzzle up, thread the black threads into the needle and sew the fox with a black nose and eyes from small beads.
18. To make our toy fox even more elegant, take a green satin ribbon and tie it around the fox's neck in the form of a bow. We trim the ends of the ribbon and cut them at an angle, you can additionally burn them with a lighter so that the bow stays neat longer and its ends do not unravel.
Red toy fox is ready. Now the child can use it in their games or just put it on a shelf to decorate the room. If you sew a loop of thin ribbon to it, then the fox can turn into a Christmas toy or a backpack pendant.

In this section, we will learn how to make the first felt toys with our own hands with patterns for beginners. Let's make some cute animals from bright felt fabrics. Man aster class for creating toys from felt with your own hands will help with this.
- baby fox
Any fidget will like such a cute fox, and will definitely become a favorite toy. And it will be very interesting for any adult to perform it, especially if a step-by-step master class helps with this.
Materials:
- Sample;
- Felt: orange, white, black;
- Sintepukh;
- Fabric and erase markers;
- Stuffing stick;
- Ruler, scissors, needle, threads in the color of felt, fabric glue;
- Blush / art pastel for cheeks;
- Satin ribbon for a bow.
Templates for work:
Progress:
Stage 1
We cut out all the necessary elements in accordance with the template. Repeating elements must be symmetrical. We glue all the small felt parts to the large ones with glue, or we tack them with a contrasting thread. It is important that all repeating elements are at the same distance from the edges of large parts. This is necessary in order for the toy to look neat.
Stage 2
We begin to sew on small details with a single white thread, performing vertical stitches.
Then you can begin to connect the front and back parts of the toy together, starting with the ears. With a needle with a single red thread, we begin to make stitches (the first one is from the inside out), starting the game back and inserting it into the same place as for the first time, thus making a neat loop around the two elements of the future ear of the toy. The needle is inserted into the loop, after which it is tightened.
Now we make the next stitch at an equal distance from the edge of the fabric, getting another loop. We again put a needle into it, tighten the thread, thus obtaining overlock seam. We sew the entire ear with this seam, and the last seam must be inserted into the first. To make it easier for beginners to understand, it is better to look at step-by-step photos.
We do the same manipulations with the second ear, after which we sweep the finished ears to the front of the head of the future fox made of felt.
Stage 3
We draw eyes and a mouth on a white muzzle. We start from the inside with a double black thread to carefully embroider the eyes, moving to the front. The first stitch is made in such a way that the needle returns to the very beginning, after which the stitch is tightened. All subsequent stitches are made in the same way, the main thing is that the forming loop is always on top - above the thread with the needle. At the end, you can make an eyelash. The second eye and mouth are embroidered according to the same principle. Already at this stage, you can draw a fox cheeks.
Stage 4
Time to sew the big parts of the head. First, it is better to sweep the front and back of the toy's head with a contrasting thread. After that, you can proceed to sheathing with an overcast seam. As before, we need an orange single thread. When the seams reach the ear, it is necessary to insert a needle and thread on the back side so that the distance to the edge on both the front and back sides is the same (the needle must pass through the ear inside).
We insert the needle directly into the eye - in a place directly above the point where the needle and thread came from. In front, the needle will eventually also come out in the eye right above the original place. Insert the needle into the formed loop and tighten. It will turn out such a seam, which should look like an overcast. We sew the entire muzzle, leaving room for stuffing.
Stage 5
It's time to stuff the top of the cute felt toy. In this case, a stick for sushi, a pencil or a special device is useful. You need to stuff the head of the toy evenly, not too tightly, giving a soft volume.
Stage 6
The next step is to create a ponytail. First you need to sew a black tassel to the end of the tail with a single black thread, while not sewing the sides of the end of the tail, but only sewing on a “zigzag”. After that, the front and back parts of the tail are sewn to each other with the already familiar overcast seam with orange thread.
The place of the black tip is stitched from the inside, since the black tip will need to be stitched on top with black thread, proceeding in the same way as when sheathing the rest of the felt toy. The opposite end of the tail remains open - it is needed for stuffing with sintepuh. After the tail is evenly stuffed with lining, it is sewn to the details of the body with a contrasting thread.
Stage 7
Then the back and front parts of the body are sewn to each other with an overcast seam, leaving the neck open. We evenly distribute the syntepuh over the body, after which the hole is sewn up with an overcast seam.
Stage 8
Now that the two main parts of the felt toy are completely ready, they need to be sewn together. To sew them to each other neatly and beautifully, you can line up along the hollow on the chest of the chanterelle - right above it, the nose and mouth of the animal should be located.
Now with a needle with a double orange thread, we begin to sew the parts together. First you need to insert a needle into the lower part of the head, 3-4 mm from the edge, as in the photo, approximately at the level of the middle of the eye. Then the needle is passed through the edge of the body - at the same distance - as a result, a blind seam will be obtained. It is necessary to sew the head with the body to the opposite end of the neck, tightly tightening the seams. Thus, the front front part is stitched.
To securely fasten both parts, you need to flash them again, but in a more accurate way. Now that the needle is on the opposite edge of the neck, it is necessary to sew the back of the head. However, first you need to pierce the torso from the front side, and after that, remove the needle from the back of the head. We sew further according to this scheme in such a way that the threads are not visible at all (see photo). The felt fox is ready!
- funny owl
Very popular felt toys are cute fairy owls - they are easy to make, and in the process you can even change some elements of the product at your own discretion and taste. The result will please not only children, but also adults. Let's try to make a soft toy out of felt, which will be decorated with a floral motif from small pieces of fabric.
Materials:
- Sample;
- Felt: pink, brown, gray;
- A piece of colored fabric for the tummy and wings;
- Filler, like synthetic winterizer;
- Scissors, pins, needle, thread.
Templates for work:
Progress:
Stage 1
We cut out the paper elements of the pattern from the printed template. We attach them with pins to the felt material and cut them out in shape, after which we remove the pins.
Advice! Use a hand stitch "needle first" for sewing parts, making the same neat stitches and skips.
We sew the colored fabric onto the felt blanks for future wings forward with a needle. The knot can be hidden between the fabric and felt. And in order to keep the fabric in one place during the creation of the toy, it is better to fix it with a pin.
Stage 2
To make the owl as planned, you need to place the details according to the template. On the future body of the owl, we fasten the gray ovals of the eye with pins, after which we sew. The distance between the eyes and from the edges of the body should be 0.5 cm. After that, we refine the eyes - we sew on two other parts.
We also sew two brown triangles on the ears.
We attach a colored tummy to the owl, sew the beak and paws on top. The back of the owl's body should be filled with a tail, according to the pattern.
Advice! Children who want to help in making toys can glue the details of multi-colored material, after which the needlewoman will be able to sew them on with even beautiful stitches.
Stage 3
The front and back of the body are applied to each other. Between them, according to the scheme, ready-made wings are inserted, all this is fixed with pins. We begin to sew the toy from the bottom of the right wing, passing in a circle to the bottom of the left wing. The remaining space is used for stuffing.
We stuff the toy with padding polyester, but not to failure! It is important that the pattern and seams are not distorted at the end of the work. The hole is sewn up, the pins are removed from the wings. The felt toy is ready. To avoid difficulties in the process, you can see the step-by-step photos.
- Peppa Pig on magnets

Materials:
- Sample;
- Felt: red, light pink, dark pink, black, white;
- two beads;

- Pencil or disappearing marker;
- Neodymium magnets - optional.
Templates for work:
Progress:
Stage 1
You need to print out the template, cut out the pattern of all parts of the future felt toy. We transfer the contour of paper models to the material with a pencil or felt-tip pen, cut out parts from felt.
Stage 2
We cut out pockets for magnets and sew them to the inside of the back of the body and head of the pig, insert 1 cm magnets there and sew up the holes.
Stage 3
We sew a spout, a bright pink cheek, eyes to the muzzle, and then we mark the mouth of the toy with a thread.
We put both parts of the body together, put the legs, tail, hands in the middle, sew them together, leaving a hole in the neck area. We send a small amount of synthetic winterizer there, after which we sew up the hole.
Then we overlap the head on the dress, leaving a small hole for the padding polyester. Having stuffed it, we sew up the last hole. The felt toy is ready! Thanks to step-by-step photos, the process of creating Peppa will go much faster.

We sew on the front part an “identification mark” - a decorative little thing, like a heart, a snowflake, a bow - anything.
We sew together both parts of the toy with a simple buttonhole stitch. When sewing reaches the neck, you can immediately sew on a pendant ribbon and a festive ribbon around the neck.
When it remains to sew up the tummy, we first fill the toy with filler, evenly distributing it. Then we sew the hole. In place of the ponytail, you can sew a funny pompom.
It remains to decorate the muzzle: sew on a button-nose and bead-eyes.
- Christmas stars
From a simple material of the most ordinary form, you can get an original product with a certain mood. Let's try to do this by completing a few festive stars that will transform even the most modest little Christmas tree.

We draw on paper a star 8 cm across. Cut out this simple paper star template. The template is outlined with a pencil or marker on felt. It is important that all stars are the same. Asterisks are cut out of the material and connected in two pieces with a pin.
Stage 2
We sew the two parts of the star into one, leaving a little space for stuffing. We fill it evenly, after which we sew the last hole.
Stage 3
Sew the beads to the stars. For convenience, you can do this before both parts of the star are sewn together - if desired.
Stage 4
We thread a woolen thread into one of the ends of the star, for which you can hang the finished product from felt on the Christmas tree. The simplest and very cute New Year's felt toy is ready.
- Garland-pigtail
Another beautiful and simple “toy” made of felt that will definitely change the mood of all the inhabitants of the house for the better is a two-color pigtail garland.

Materials:
- Felt of any festive colors;
- Scissors, clerical knife;
- Needle, thread, pins;
- Pencil.
Progress:
We cut out strips of the same size from two sheets of felt of different colors (length 25 cm, width - optional). We fasten together two multi-colored strips with pins at the top and bottom.
Then, in the middle of the double strip, two cuts are made with a clerical knife (as in the photo). After that, we make a “pigtail” pattern: we pass the end of the double strip closest to it into the upper cut, and then the strip is threaded into the second slot.
Now you can make a garland out of several ready-made “pigtails” by sewing them all together. And you can leave it in a short form, hanging around the house.

Eyes can be bought in special stores, and you can also cut out circles or beads. All this must be glued to large sheets of felt, or sewn by hand (for small children, it is better to choose the option to sew by hand, because they put everything in their mouths).
Stage 3
Now we need to take care of making "fur coats" for our home zoo. Here it is better to use bright interesting colors of felt to attract the attention of the baby.
