Soft Paws – Punch Needle Teddy

For this project, I made a small teddy bear by following the course ‘Design and Embroidery of Dolls’ with punch needle. I decided to create a smaller version than the original size from the course, keeping the same shape but giving it a more decorative and cozy feel.

• Yarn
• Punch needle
• Fabric
• Embroidery hoop
• Pencil (for sketching the design)
• Needle and yarn (for sewing)
• Glue
• Plastic safety eyes
• Polyester fiberfill

I wasn’t able to photograph every step of the process, but I followed the course techniques throughout the project.
I focused on yarn, texture, and facial details to create a soft and warm character, while exploring the design at a smaller scale.

I chose to embroider the back as well, so the piece feels more like a small toy.

I would like to thank Carolina for such a fun and inspiring course. I truly enjoyed the process — the steps were simple, clear, and easy to follow, which made learning punch needle techniques really enjoyable.
