For those of you who follow me on Instagram or Facebook, you know I am in London this week debuting my new paper craft kits. Very exciting! Trips like this always throw off my blog schedule, so my plan to start my series of felt animals has been delayed for a few day. Let’s get started with this felt fox ornament.

Goodies You Can't Google

You've found a member-exclusive project. But for less than the price of a fancy coffee... You'll get instant access to this and over 2,000 other premium projects inside the Lia Griffith membership!

“With Lia, you get a ton of beautiful projects from one site. It saves me time searching the web, and the project tutorials and videos are easy to follow. I definitely get my money's worth every month!” Vivian

How cute is this? Using the template on the right hand side at the top of this post, this little felt fox ornament is quite simple to assemble. Once all the felt pieces are cut, you can use a hot glue or craft glue to attach the small pieces of detail. Blanket stitch the outer edge of the fox, add a little stuffing and you are done with this adorable buddy. He is ready to add to the top of a holiday gift or hang on the Christmas tree.

Crafting Tip: New to crafting felt animal stuffies and want to learn more? Take our mini course, 8 Easy Steps to Create Any Felt Stuffie.

NOTE: If I were to make a second fox, I would assemble the tail separate from the body and attach on back of fox body after both pieces are complete. Be sure to check out my other DIY Felt Christmas ornaments: deer, bear, raccoon, squirrel, bunny, and mushroom & acorns. Enjoy! ~ Lia

Instructions

Gather your materials and download the pattern for our felt fox below.
Cut the template out of felt using your scissors.
Glue small felt pieces in place with hot glue.
Sew black beads, buttons, or craft eyes on your felt fox.

Beautiful stuffies! Thank you for sharing! What size buttons do you use for the eyes?

  Hi Becky,
  
  We used 3mm black beads for the eyes 🙂

Lia, when you mention that if you made the fox again you would do the tail separately, do you mean like you made the squirrel?Thanks!

  @Camilla
  
  Yes, exactly! I would close the body all the way and attach the tail separately.

I see must have missed some posts after my surgery. And on top of that am so embarrassed to have asked you about a squirrel when you’d already done it, so sorry. Where was my brain for while?
Aha, see below this is squirrel so can get right to it. Sorry for being such an absent minded old lady. Sure appreciate how you’ve shared all these felt critter projects. Am so behind, need to have time to catch up on so many of your wonderful projects. If I saw the squirrel previously sure forgot about it. No excuse cause I wasn’t taking any pain drugs.
Will get started on grand daughters squirrel right away. Hope I have right color felt now. Hubs has to make a pulley contraption for me so I can get arm stretched out. My time for pt is running out and have to see surgeon on 23rd.
How exciting about your paper craft kits. When will we see them? Hope all went well in London. How exciting. Happy week

  We have plans for many more stuffies coming up 🙂 We’re hoping to do a whole “under the sea” theme! I’m hoping to make some big announcements in the next few months so you will find out then about the paper and kits 😉

Hello! Thanks so much for sharing! Would it be possible for these felt animal ornaments to be in SVG file formats so that I can cut them with my Cricut Explore please?

Reply
1. Lia October 26, 2015 at 8:56am
  
  @Vivian
  
  We cut our felt by hand! Cutting with felt on the Cricut requires you to back your felt with a stiffener, which will not work for our projects.

Thanks for replying. I will abide by your request. I know it’s not fair to have your designs used without compensation. Our bazaar is in Woodstock, IL.

Your little fox ornament is so very cute. Would it be possible to get permission to make several of these to sell at our local church bazaar in Nov. 2015? ALL proceeds go to local service organizations fighting domestic abuse, homelessness, and direct assistance. Please contact me if you would like more information. Thank you.

  Hi Gail thank you for your questions. Although all of those causes are close to my heart all of my designs are copyright for personal use only:( It is standard to protect starving artists from having our designs used by large corporations without paying royalty and unfortunately the same rules apply. Best of luck with the Church bazaar, if it is close by I would love to stop by.

Hi Lia
Can you recommend a felt to use? Wool or acrylic, which is best for stitching and using on these projects? Thank you, happy new year

Dear Lia,
i have been following your blog for several months now, finding everything you share stunningly beautifull and special…

until now i just looked, did not do anything myself. yesterday i decided the little fox to be the first thing to actually craft myself and… it was SO much fun!

It came out perfect, looks beautifull and my 2 years old little boy LOVES it (… he is very much into foxes at the moment….)
thank you so much for this lovely inspiration!
i´ll do the bear tonight, already looking forward to it…
Your little animals will be the highlight on my christmas tree!

a warm hello and thank you from cold Berlin, Germany

Sophie

When purchasing felt for the animals is it safe to purchase one of the wool blend felt collections?

  sure, you can make the animals in any color group you want:) I not sure what is included in their collections but I got all my fabric from Benzi Design.

Hooray! I love making felt animals and the fox in particular. Lia, I especially adore your fox graphics and to have a pattern to make one into a felt “sweetie” makes my heart pound faster. The cool thing is just last night I ordered a pack of felt from Benzie Design! As soon as it shows up I’ll be in making mode. You are so kind in sharing this and I thank you.
