how to make these fox decorations
Now for the fun fox decoration tutorial! Enjoy!
Step One – Paint Your Wooden Slices
The first step is to paint the slices white and let them dry. It’s important that everything has a good, solid coat of paint so it holds together well. Use a small paint brush and allow plenty of time for drying completely.
Step Two- Cut Out Your Felt Material
Cut a circle from the orange felt the same size as the wood slice.
Cut out the fox’s fur for his face from the orange felt circle.
Refer to the photo. Glue the orange felt onto the wood slice.
Step Three – Cut Out The Fox Nose
Cut a small circle (nose) from black felt and glue on top of the orange felt.
Use a black paint marker to draw on eyes.
Step Four- Create The Fox Ears
Cut small triangles from orange felt. Cut smaller triangles from pink felt.
Glue the two pieces together.
Cut the bottom into a rounded shape.
Glue the ears on top of the fox’s head.
Don’t they look cute!
Step Five – Glue Twine Onto the back of your decorations
Next glue twine onto the back for hanging on a Christmas tree.
Your foxes are done. I love them.
They are so stinking cute and can be used both as Autumn decorations and at Christmas!
Enjoy!
You could pop these on the Christmas Tree at Christmas. I’m sure they would look amazing.
ENJOY!
