This most adorable craft is made with felt fabric and is so easy to sew together.

Materials & Tools Used in This Craft
Full instructions are found in the printable tutorial card at the end of this post, but here is a quick outline so you know what to expect from the craft.
I highly recommend always reading everything all the way through before starting any project so you understand all the steps required.
- Felt Fabric in the following colors:
- Pencil or fabric marker
- Scissors
- Needle & Thread – try to match the thread to the felt colors
- Sewing Pins – optional to hold the fabric together when sewing
- Soft Toy Stuffing – or scraps of felt or cotton wool balls
- Free Printable Baby Yoda Craft Template – find it before the tutorial card, surrounded by a purple box
The printable template has two sizes. One makes a mini plush, which is about 3½”/9cm tall, a one slightly taller one at about 5″/12cm.

- Free printable template - link in the blog post
Tools
- Pencil
- Scissors

- Trace the two circles onto black felt and cut out.
- Trace the inner ear pieces onto pink felt and cut them out.
- Trace the coat pieces onto brown felt and cut out.
- Stitch the black circle eyes to the head of one of the green pieces with black thread. You can add a couple of white stitches for "shine" in each eye if you like.
- Lightly draw on a nose and mouth and stitch over with black thread.
- Stitch the pink inner ear parts and the hair tuft in place using green thread.
- Place the two green pieces together and stitch the head parts together with green thread. You can use sewing pins to keep the felt in place if you wish. Do not stitch all the way around!

- Place the back piece of the coat behind the body and the front of the coat on the front side of the body. Pin in place if using pins.
- Start to stitch the coat pieces together with the body leaving a gap for stuffing.
- You can stuff Baby Yoda with scraps of felt (cut them into small pieces for an even stuffing) or use soft toy stuffing, or even cotton balls. Use a pencil to help guide the stuffing into all the sections evenly.
- Stitch the open end to secure the stuffing inside and tie off the thread with a knot.
