Materials

Colored felt fabric: We used mostly white for our ghost, but we did use a few small pieces of black and pink for the eyes and cheeks.

Printable Ghost pattern: We have a free felt ghost pattern you can grab at the end of the tutorial!

Colored thread: We used thread to match the different colors of felt, so for our we used white, black and pink.

You’ll also need some basic supplies, like:

  • Needle
  • Scissors
  • Pencil – to trace the template

Instructions

First start by grabbing and printing out the felt ghost pattern. Then grab your felt sheets.

We used white for the ghost body, pink for the cheeks and black for the eyes.

The template includes a base pattern (You’ll need to cut out 2 of the ghost body shapes) 2 arm pieces, 2 eyes and 2 checks.

Step 1: Cut out the Pattern Pieces

Step 3: Attach the Other Eye

Then lay the other ghost piece with the embroidery on top of the other piece face up, making sure that the arms are sandwiched in between the two base layers.

Step 7: Stuff the Ghost

Start stitching around the sides of the ghost to attach them together. Make sure to leave a small opening so you can stuff the ghost.

Use some of the left over felt scraps to stuff the ghost.

Step 8: Finish Sewing

After you’ve stuffed the felt ghost, finish stitching up the opening to keep all the stuffing inside.

Tie off the thread with a couple of knots and cut off any excess thread.
