What You’ll Need

  • Felt sheets in red, white/cream, peach-pink, and accent colours
  • Printable felt Santa pattern (included in the PDF tutorial)
  • Embroidery scissors for precise cutting
  • Needle and thread
  • Aleene’s Tacky Glue (or similar fabric glue)
  • Hollow fibre stuffing, kapok, or cotton wool
  • Optional: sequins, braid, buttons, belt buckle, or pom-pom

Step-by-Step Tutorial

Inside the Felt Santa PDF tutorial, you’ll learn how to:

  • Cut out your pieces neatly and accurately
  • Sew and stuff the cone-shaped body
  • Attach the brim, face, beard, nose, moustache, and arms
  • Add final decorations to complete your Santa

Tips for Best Results

  • Fuse lightweight interfacing to the back of your felt before cutting (not on the hat brim).
  • Trace shapes with a heat-erasable pen and iron away marks before assembly.
  • Use fabric glue for precision instead of a glue gun on small details.
