Spunky Monkey

If you’ve been following the Chinese zodiac, you will know that 2016 is the year of the monkey. In honor of this year’s animal we decided to make this adorable DIY monkey felt stuffie! As you may have noticed, our illustrator Krista has a real knack for designing these precious DIY kid’s toys. Take a look at our DIY Felt Dog, Felt Owl, and Felt Penguin to make a whole set of these cuties!

You can find all of the tools and materials needed listed on the right hand side of this post and the PDF template with step-by-step tutorial to make this DIY monkey stuffie, complete with his own little banana treat. Too adorable!

This Felt Baby Monkey Stuffie project is good for beginner sewists! All you’ll need to make it are simple running stitches and blanket stitches. You can learn how to do both with our Basic Stitch Guide or by taking the 8 Easy Steps to Create a Felt Stuffie video mini-course, both of which are included in your membership.

The right-hand side of this post lists all of the tools and materials needed. The project included a printable template, an SVG cut file for your cutting machine, and a photo tutorial. Or you can purchase the materials bundle in our shop, Felt Paper Scissors.

Your little monkey project includes a mini banana treat. It's too adorable!Once your Felt Baby Monkey Stuffie is all sewn up, give it a little extra love with some finishing touches. You can add a tiny bow, a name tag, or even a whole basket of mini bananas. The possibilities are endless, and each monkey can be as unique as you are!

  I’m not sure if you’re asking for a felt cat stuffie toy for kids, or felt toys for cats, but I have both on the site! Here is the kitten stuffie: https://liagriffith.com/diy-felt-craft-kittens/ and here is the felt cat toys: https://liagriffith.com/felt-mouse-diy-cat-toy/. Enjoy!

Whomever sews these little critters to life is an excellent blanket stitcher. All stitches look so even and especially tidy. I tend to waver on size as I go along but making one of these little guys will be sure to pay better attention to my blanket stitching size. How cute can this be? Ya gotta really love it. Bravo to your designer, she deserves a gold star and pat on back.
Would love it if your designer could make a squirrel, my grand daughter at college loves squirrels. I have a little blue squirrel planter I got in KY she’s had her eye on since we moved here. Told her she’d have to wait til I croak before she gets it. Maybe before, I love having it out in our bathroom sometimes living room. Hope I can do justice to this monkey critter. Happy weekend
