Felt Farm Sheep
Baa-Ram-Ewe!
We've been on a mission to make more farm animals after a few member requests came in for them. In the last couple of months, we've added a felt cow and felt pig to our collection of DIY stuffies. And now Krista has designed this adorably fluffy felt sheep for you to make. Just check out our supplies list on the right panel to see what you need for this project. Then download our template and tutorial to the right to start crafting!

Our felt sheep uses beginner needle-felting skills, which you can skip if you'd like and just make a sheared sheep instead. The fluffy woolen fleece is made by twisting long strips of felting wool and pinning the coils to the felt sheep, kind of like a tufted rug. Though this step is a bit time-consuming, it's easier than it sounds — so this is a good project to dip into needle-felting!
Skill level: Intermediate

Back to the TopSo if I try the monthly subscription as a first time user. Do I get a lot of the felt animal patterns for free? Or do I have to pay for them too? How does this work?
Hello Audree, yes, this is a member access project. Your membership would include access to our templates and tutorials (monthly includes current monthly collection plus five downloads a month, where annual is full site access), plus many other perks, including a felt stuffie course that you might enjoy. We have so much to offer. Give it a try!
Once you finish needle felting the tufted fleece onto the sheep, how do you smooth out all of the little stray fibers that are floating around?
I love this sheep- I made him about 9” tall and he’s turning out so lovely. I think I’ll use him for Easter!
Please share pictures!! Yes, I would use the needle to tuck away any strays. Or even clip a few with some snips.
Very attractive sheep!
I love this one!
