I was going to enter this for the ultimate DIY contest, until I read the official rules (because I do that) &you have to be 18+ ):

oh well, &you can also:
stuff it to make it a stuffed animal,
stab pins in it &roll it up to make one of those things
or leave it flat as a scarf.

You Will Need (3 things)

  • Cotton Lining
  • Button(s)
  • Felt Scrap

Steps (6 steps, 50 minutes)

  1. 1

    First, I drew out the fox on a paper &then drew it on the fleece. cut it out, but DON'T cut on the line, cut outside the line by about half an inch

  2. 2

    trace the cut out to the cotton lining, &sew together on the line (inside out), leave an opening at the tail. You can trim an excess lining or fleece.

  3. 3

    flip the whole thing rightside out &you will have a weird snake like thing.

  4. 4

    Make 4 triangles as ears, sew the sides, flip it rightside out &sew on the ears, you can stuff them a bit too.

  5. 5

    close the tail by folding the fabric inward, and sewing.

  6. 6

    add buttons if you're not giving it to an infant/young child. you can sew on felt eyes as an alternative. sew whiskers &the nose the you're done.

    another option is to sew a white piece of fabric at the end of the tail to make it more "fox like"
