DIY felt woodland red fox

Think outside the fox

We love helping you get creative! Our felt red fox would make a great handmade gift for kids — or anyone who loves foxes. If you are making this at home with little ones around, they can join in on the fun by crafting our pom-pom fox pals, this simple felt fox cup cozy, or a felt pinecone fox.

Crafting tip: For a more wintery version of this felt red fox, you could use white or gray felt instead to make an arctic fox.

How to Make a Felt Red Fox

  1. Gather your craft tools and materials. Then download the fox pattern on the right hand side at the top of this post.
  2. Cut out felt according to pattern using a Cricut Maker (optional) or scissors.
  3. Sew the legs to the underside piece using two strands of white embroidery floss and a whip stitch, working from what will be the inside of the legs. Match and follow the curve of the leg openings, and ensure that the legs are facing the right way.
  4. Repeat this step for all of the legs.
