Hooo’s the Cutest?
To make your own felt owl stuffie, start by downloading the pattern on the right hand side at the top of this post and cutting the templates into soft wool felt. The only stitching skills you need are a running stitch and blanket stitch. Therefore, this pattern makes a great project for a child or a beginner. Once all your pieces are cut, you can follow the tutorial below to assemble the little guy.
If you craft this felt owl, let us know how it went! And make sure to share your pics with us on Instagram, Facebook, or Twitter and use the hashtag #MadeWithLia. We love to see what you’re up to and we will always share our faves! Enjoy! ~ Lia and team

Leave a CommentCan I purchase the Felt Owl Stuffie pattern without signing up for a membership?
Hi! We aren’t able to sell our patterns as single downloads (yet!), but you can always sign up for a membership then cancel after you have downloaded what you need. It would be less expensive that way anyway 🙂
Would I be able to download this pattern with the monthly membership or would I need the annual membership?
Yes, our monthly members have access to the same projects as annual members.
I love owls them in every form this is really cute and quick making a garland from this little owlette.thank you for sharing, Wanda
Such a fun idea! Have fun, Wanda 🙂
How do you sew on the feet? Jolie
We actually just glued them on (see step 11 in the photo tutorial) 🙂
Hi there,
I’ve noticed you seem to buy your felt from Benzie Design on Etsy. All the other templates have listed the colors you used, I was just wondering what colors were used for the owl pictured? Love them!
Thank you.
Of course! The colors from Benzie we used were: lucky penny, graphite, smoke, silver, white, and black. The felt around the eyes is an oatmeal color that was from our local fabric store, but you could probably substitute it with another light brown color from Benzie like Seaside or Latte!
Is there any way I can print out the photos of the step by step instructions? This isn’t offered with the download pattern and would be very helpful to have without having to open the computer to look at it. It would also be helpful to have a supplies list when shopping for the things needed to make these. Thanks…want to make a few of these while recuperating from knee surgery.
You can always just click on the photo tutorial to pull it up in a new window and then print that out! I will work on making supplies lists in the future 🙂
Today (11/25/15) I double clicked on the step by step instructions and they popped up in a window. Chose print and reduced it to 75% thus reducing the pages to 2. I also use Evernote (like dropbox) and uploaded the instructions to my DIY folder. So cute!!
So cute I can’t wait to make this for my Granddaughters. Thank you
Wonderful!! Glad you like 🙂
Hi, can I buy just a couple patterns without a membership. I don’t get on the computer that much.
Thanks for your time,
Laura.

If there is any specific template that you don’t see on our Etsy shop but would like to buy, let me know and I will add it 🙂
