Winnie the Pooh Felt Art


Lots of projects going on lately, but I am particularly excited about having finished this little guy; the always adorable Winnie the Pooh!


This is another one of my felt art pieces measuring 9.5x7.5 inches. It is made entirely of felt and embroidery thread, no glue is used at all and I stitch and cut everything by hand. We are big Disney fans, as in we go there about once a week, and one of my favorite attractions is The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh. (That ride along with The Haunted Mansion made me decide to pursue a degree in scenic design and become the artist that I am today) If you have rode the ride it as many times as I have, you may have noticed as you go into Owl’s house there are pictures all around. Off the lower right is the cutest picture of Winnie the Pooh and that is what I wanted to recreate in felt.

I love that picture! My awesome husband was quick with the camera and able to snag a picture of it so I could show you just how cute it is. Originally, I was going to just paint said picture but then I stumbled upon an oval frame in a thrift store. While it’s not the prettiest frame it had a certain charm to it and I knew right away what I would use it for. Here are a few in-process pictures so you can see how it took shape.













 I also remembered to photograph the back before I framed it. I usually get so wrapped up in finishing it I forget but the back really shows how much work went into a piece. 


I have been asked if my felt art is for sale, unfortunately if an image is copyrighted/trademarked it is illegal to sell fan art based on it with out permission. Someday I hope to be part of Disney's fine art program so that I can share my love of felt art. Thanks for checking out my art work and remember if you are at the Magic Kingdom check out the Winnie the Pooh ride, fun for all ages with or without kids!
