handmade felt horned owl stuffie

Hoot would have thought it’d be this easy?

If you haven’t made one of our felt animals before, this felt horned owl is a great one to start with since it is a bit flatter than our other standing stuffies and doesn’t require as much construction know-how. You can also pair it with this black cat stuffie, which is another simple felt project that would be cute for Halloween.

Stitches used: Blanket, whip, ladder, straight, and double-running stitch. Need more guidance on these stitches? Check out our free embroidery guide.

How to Make a Felt Horned Owl

  1. Gather your craft tools and materials. Then download our owl pattern below.
  2. Cut out felt according to template using a cutting machine with a rotary blade (optional) or scissors.
  3. Whip stitch the eyes on one of the body pieces, one layer at a time. Use 1 strand of floss to match each of the felt colors. Straight stitch lines going from the outer edge of the iris to the pupil using 2 strands of the dark straw floss. You can use a disappearing ink pen to mark your guidelines.
  4. Whip stitch the bottom edge of the forehead piece on top, aligning the top edge with the top of the body.
