I hope you’ve enjoyed this tutorial and that it’s given you an opportunity to sew with (or for) a loved one. These two have become fast friends and enjoy spending time together in the garden! Be sure to make more than one so they can hang out together. Your cute little felt frog is all finished. Be sure to start and end all stitching on the wrong side (or underside) of the felt, so that the knots and thread ends can’t be seen. Manoeuvre small balls of polyester stuffing into the side gap, using a chopstick or stuffing tool.įinish the side stitching to close the gap. Leave a gap at the side of the frog, but keep your floss intact. I used blanket stitch for my frog and Miss 11 used running stitch for hers. Using two strands of green floss, sew the two shapes together starting below one ear, stitching up across the ears and head and down around the body. Place the remaining piece of frog shaped felt behind the frog front and pin or clip together. ![]() Then use two strands of matching embroidery floss to secure the shapes with running stitch. Next, use a small amount of craft glue to secure the eyes and cheeks in place, using the template as a placement guide. Use your needle to help tease any stray bits of paper out from under the stitches (if necessary). When you’ve finished sewing, hold the stitches with one hand as you gently tear away the paper with the other. To learn more about back stitch and the other stitches used in this project, visit the Stitch Library Post. Using three strands of brown embroidery floss, sew the mouth with back stitch by stitching directly through the paper. Pin the paper over one piece of frog felt. Trace the frog shape and mouth details onto a small piece of thin paper lunch wrap or tissue paper. Cut around the outside edge of the paper using paper scissors. I used the tissue paper transfer method I describe in this beginner’s tutorial. If the project is going to be used by younger children, the facial features will need to be stitched securely in place. This is a great method for older kids making their own softie. Miss 11 made her mouth with a tiny scrap of brown felt and glued it in place (as she did with the other facial features). Trace the template shapes onto freezer paper Roughly cut out each shape then iron it onto the felt Cut out each shape on the line and peel away the paper template Save the templates to reuse later Let’s Sew The Frog Visit my beginner’s tutorial for a more detailed description on the different methods you can use, including my easy but accurate Freezer Paper method.
