felt stuffie garden snail

Snailed It!

This felt snail would make a fun addition to a felt veggie garden for kids. You can craft your own garden using the patterns from our felt root vegetables project as well as these garden signs and markers. We also have a felt watering can, a felt gnome, and some cute felt mushrooms you can make. All of these craft projects are perfect for pretend play, and you can even make a magical garden alphabet poster to hang in your little one’s room.

As with most of our 3D felt animals, this felt snail is somewhere between a beginner and intermediate project. We’d love to see your version of this felt craft, so be sure to share photos with us on our Facebook page for members or by using the hashtag #MadeWithLia on Instagram.

Skill level: Beginner-intermediate.

Embroidery stitches used: Blanket stitch, whip stitch, double running stitch, and backstitch. Want more guidance on these stitches? Check out our free embroidery guide.
