Felt Mouse Stuffie
For this month’s craft collection, our designer Krista is showing us how to make an adorable felt mouse stuffie. This is a good intermediate project — perfect for those of you who have made a couple of our felt animals before or are familiar with basic embroidery stitches. It’s also great for anyone wanting to learn how to make 3D felt animals.
While you can use your Cricut Maker or Silhouette Cameo 4 to cut your felt pieces, we recommend using your detail scissors for a more precise cut. You can find both the SVG file and printable template on the right hand side of this post.

Have a mice day!
This felt mouse stuffie was inspired by some of Krista’s favorite childhood books about Poppy the deer mouse. And we think it’s pretty neat that the author got the idea for these books while living in Corvallis, OR, which is just an hour and a half from us in Portland! Since the project was inspired by the Poppy books, Krista also created a mini version of our felt California poppy for the mouse to hold.
When you are ready to make your felt mouse stuffie, gather the tools and materials listed here. Then follow the instructions on the right hand side at the top of this post. One tip we have for mastering more complicated felt animals like this one is to work in small, even stitches. If you have any questions while crafting, just ask!

Back to the Topthese mice are adorable. do I need to join to get the pattern. I am in my 80’s, exactly 85 and want to make a small scene with mice playing baseball, as both of my boys did. already the field, ball and bat; just need mice like these for the players. if I have to join to just get the pattern, how much is it. I printed off several pages, and there is a very small pattern, but I need it bigger. Please help me if you can. thank you very much.
The template and tutorial are available for the monthly membership which is only $14.99, and you can download more projects during that month! You can see how to join if you click the logo at the top left of the page, it will take you to the details page. Hope to see you on the other side! 🙂
Hola, quisiera inscribirme para aprender a realizar estos peluches.
Just go to liagriffith.com and you can sign up from there. 🙂
Hello, loving making this! The mouse is done and I’m working on the flower, but the stamen piece seems to be missing from the .svg file. Should I cut this out by hand? Thanks!
You can cut it by hand, but I just updated the SVG. It was in the original file, but as a Cricut software update, we have to group everything so little pieces like that don’t fall off the file. A bit frustrating, but it is what it is. 😉
Thank you, Lia. My printer isn’t working. I downloaded the files and I’m trying to trace off the screen. Un fortunately the size of the items seems to change when I touch it. I may have to send the pdf’s to my DIL and have her print them! They are so cute. The posy will be a heart. They are going to be Valentine’s Day Mice!
Ohh how sweet, what a great idea!
What is the size of this stuffie? Thanks!
It’s about 4″ tall 🙂
