Crafty as a Fox

Needle felting is a fun and simple way to create your own stuffed animals. You can use them as home decor, send them as gifts, or create a whole collection for your kids to play with. If you want to add to your own collection, we’ve got other ideas for you! What about these cute panda pals? Or pigs? This raven would also be a perfect addition to your Halloween decor.

We used a foam egg for the body of our needle felted fox to save on materials and make the crafting process easier. This also allows you to felt animals faster. You’ll want to poke at the wool roving repeatedly until it becomes smooth. This part may take a little bit of time (maybe 15–30 minutes), but we actually find this process very relaxing!
