Animal stuffies make for such great gifts! Our latest DIY stuffed animal is this funny little felt beaver. With a cute colorful scarf and jingle bell accessory, this project makes for an excellent toy or home decoration. We used blue felt for our beaver’s scarf and paired with matching blue felted balls, but feel free to get creative! Give every beaver you craft a different colored scarf to add a more personalized feel. If you love this project, browse even more of our stuffies here. So simple to craft and simply adorable results!

That’s great! Thank you so much!
Hi – I have made this beaver for a Christmas ornament. I made him as a OSU Beaver. Do you have any suggestions on how to fit him with the black and orange stocking cap. He currently has an orange scarf and holds an orange pendant with OSU in black. Any suggestions would be so helpful. This is for my soon to be 8 year old grandson who just happens to be and OSU die hard fan. All of these felt animals have made the most adorable ornaments. Thank you so much for your creativity.
Hi Joelle, I would suggest cutting a front and back for the hat similar to the one on this little bear. https://liagriffith.com/diy-woodland-finger-puppets/

Hi Lia-
I have a paid membership but all of your emails have stopped. I emailed you about a month ago with the same problem. Please check my membership and if I have been inadvertently deleted for emails please, please restore me. I had to search for your 2018 calender and don’t know what else I have missed.
Thanks a million
