How to Make a Felt Avocado Stuffie

Step 1

Select light green and dark green felt for the avocado pattern. Select pink felt for the blush, and any color of your choice for the heart pattern. Trace the template patterns onto the selected felt; cut the pieces out neatly.

Step 2

Take the small base cutout (light green) and use a pen or pencil to draw the eyes and mouth-line on it near the top part of the base.

Using a needle and black thread, stitch along the traced eyes and mouth-line.

Using pink thread, stitch the 2 small blush cutouts on each side of the face.

Step 3

Place the felt heart cutout below the face part, near the bottom edge of the green base. Prepare a needle with thread that matches the heart color.

Stitch the heart cutout on top of the light green base.

Step 4

After stitching on the heart shape, place the green base on one of the dark green (bigger) bases. Using light green thread, stitch the light green base onto the dark green base.

Step 6

Take the other dark green base and place it under the stitched base pattern. Using dark green thread, start stitching the edges of the two dark green bases together with flat blanket stitches.

Step 7

Keep a small opening for stuffing the felt avocado. Push cotton or Poly-fil through the opening until the avocado is filled.

Step 8

After stuffing the avocado, stitch the small opening shut. Tie a knot or two to secure the stitching; cut off the extra thread.

If you’d like to make the stuffie into an ornament, attach ribbon at the top for hanging.

And that’s it! Now your child can enjoy showing their handiwork to family and friends.
