When we began developing ideas for our cute camping-themed bedroom last month, we wanted to create an eye-catching 3D project that we could hang on the wall. After a little doughnut-fueled brain-storming session, we decided that it was time to create our own pattern for a DIY Felt Moose Head. We were determined to design a pattern that would be easy for even those with little craft experience to achieve and I think we have done that!

This pattern is simple to print and cut and our tutorial below makes it easy to assemble and fill. We stitched our moose head pieces together with a sewing machine then added other details by hand. None of the sewing is complicated so don’t be put off if you’re not an accomplished sewer – you don’t need to be! Our top tip for making our DIY felt moose head at home would be to stuff it really really full with batting so that it retains it’s 3D shape when you hang it on the wall. We also added a couple stitches to the back of the antlers to make sure they stood up tall and didn’t flop forwards. This a perfect craft project for someone looking to create something amazing for their home! How about making it in hot pink for a teenagers bedroom or in patchwork for those who want to push their sewing talent a little further? Wherever you choose to give your DIY felt moose head a home, have fun making it and please do share your creativity with us over on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram. See you there! ~ Lia

Leave a CommentDo I print this on a regular printer at home? Also, did the membership price go up? I joined to get the pattern, but it charged me $10 and not $5. Are there any measurements to go along with this pattern? I’m using faux fur, and I don’t want to make a mistake. I see where someone else asked about 8×11 and you said 11×17, my printer doesn’t hold 11×17 paper. Just standard paper. I need help! Haha
Hi Ashley! Our monthly membership is $9.99, did you see it advertised as $5 somewhere? This template is on 11×17 because it’s so large (making it 8.5×11 would require even more taping together, and is just too confusing!) If you don’t have access to a printer that prints tabloid size paper, we recommend printing at a local print shop like FedEx Office or Staples.
Just on this thread in the comments I saw it advertised for $5. Thanks for the advice, Staples printed it for me and it was so easy!!!! I am super excited to start this project for my sons woodland themed room!
Awesome!! So glad to hear. Be sure to send us photos!
I’m unclear as to whether the pattern pieces do or do not include a 1/4″ seam allowance?
No, the pattern does not include the 1/4″ seam allowance. The photo in step 1 shows what your cut pieces should look like– slightly larger than the pattern.
Do you have direction for this like your other items other than just the pic?
Hi Paige, we just have the photo tutorial for this project.
I was overly ambitious and I thought I could take on this project.. it requires much patience when turning antlers right side out after sewing them, and then when stuffing. I’ve been sitting here trying to stuff one antler for nearly 2 hours. Cute project but I’m just not experienced in this. I have all but the antlers done.. I’ll be making flat antlers just to get it done. I have much respect and appreciation for those that have the patience for stuffing these bad boys lol!
Oh Erin, I feel your pain. This was definitely a labor of love! I used a large knitting needle to help turn right side out and stuff. It helped but still took some time, and patience. I’m sure flat antlers will still look awesome!!
What paper size did you use to print the pattern pieces? I used standard 8.5X11 and it seems like the moose head will be a fraction of the size of the one you have pictured?
The pattern is 11×17 🙂
Hi how many yards of felt do you think I would need?
You’ll need about 2 yards of the dark brown and 1/2 to 1 of the lighter brown!
Is there a way to just buy this pattern without a year membership?
Hi Shelley, thanks for your question! You can purchase monthly membership for $5. Not only will you get the moose head pattern, but access to all our other patterns, printables and cut files as well as any new ones that we share over the next month. I hope this helps!
Maybe I’m missing them somewhere but I have no pattern specs, just pattern pieces. No “cut 2” or etc. I can figure it out, but might be more helpful if it were included.
Thanks for letting me know!!
