Think stuffies are just for kids? Think again! Our felt flamingo stuffie is such a beautiful home decor item. We styled ours two different ways to give you some ideas. First, we placed our flamingo stuffie on a stack of books on a mantel next to a candle holder and some palm fronds. Everything in this space is white or neutral so the greenery and pop of pink from the flamingo stand out. But, if you prefer a more colorful space where the flamingo blends in, you can simply switch out the white books and the white vase for more vibrant colors. You can also replace the palm fronds with a tropical flower, like our felt hibiscus.
Of course, you can also craft this felt flamingo stuffie as a soft toy for little ones. Or as nursery decor. It’s a very versatile stuffie, as you can see!
Flamin-Go!

I loved your toucan wall hanging so much and wanted to make it for my mom, but flamingos are much more her ~vibe~ so I replaced the toucan with this adorable little fella and switched out some different flowers and so, for starters, I gotta say how much I love that your projects allow so much room for customization, and secondly, all of your patterns are just so good and I’m having so much fun here. I haven’t given my mom her flamingo wall hanging yet, but I know that I’M pleased with how it came out, so I know that she will love it. Thanks for the inspiration AND the tools to make such a cool gift for my favorite lady!!!
Awww! That just made me tear up. Share photos on our Community page! I want to see. 😉
Can I just buy the flamingo pattern. I don’t want a membership.
Hi Kim! We don’t sell individual patterns, but you can always sign up for a monthly membership and then change your membership to non-renew so you only pay for one month. This will give you our entire craft collection plus 5 other patterns and tutorials of your choice for $9.99.
Could I make the stuffies from fleece instead of felt to make them huggable and washable for babies? I would love to make a farm and menagerie for my first grandchild, due in January.
Yes, how sweet!
