It's been a while since we've made an adorable felt animal! I think the last one was our felt giraffe. Today's DIY project is a felt squirrel stuffie, crafted by our designer Krista. And as you can see, she made sure this little guy is fully prepared for winter.

Back to the TopThis was fun to make, but just an FYI: the SVG only cuts one half of the squirrel body.
Thanks for letting us know, we have updated the SVG to include 2 pieces for the front and back.
