This adorable Felt Skunk is an intermediate-level project and a great pick for crafters who feel comfortable with embroidery. Because this project focuses on clean lines and careful stitching, you’ll end up with a polished and expressive finished piece. As always, the project includes a step-by-step tutorial with clear instructions and detailed photos, so you can create with confidence. If needed, we also recommend taking a look at our skills course for a quick refresher on embroidery techniques.

Additionally, because you’ll be working with dark felt, we recommend using chalk or a white fabric pencil to clearly mark your pieces and placement lines. Once your stitching is complete, a quick once-over with masking tape is a great way to lift lint and stray fibers. By comparison, lint rollers can be a bit too sticky for felt projects.

Skunks are a familiar, yet often unwelcome sight in many neighborhoods, quietly nosing around after dusk. While they’re best known for their distinctive defensive aroma, skunks can also be symbols of boundary setting and protection. As we move forward into this period of pre-spring reflection, we hope it serves as a gentle reminder to advocate for our own joy, peace, and energy with the same tenacity and efficiency as our little skunk friends.

When your Felt Skunk is finished, we truly can’t wait to see them in action. Finally, don’t forget to share your new friend on social media using #MadeWithLia or in our crafters’ community.
