Cozy Moose Plush Ornament
Sew a mini moose keychain with this beginner-friendly sewing project. Perfect for fabric scraps, quick makes, and seasonal handmade gifts.
Project Overview
Create a charming mini moose keychain with this quick and beginner-friendly sewing project. The finished keychain measures approximately 2” × 2” (5 cm × 5 cm), making it a compact, portable accessory or seasonal handmade gift. It’s a great way to use up scraps of minky and felt fabric, and the small size makes it perfect for practicing detail work.
Pro Tip: For tiny felt face pieces, fabric glue or hot glue works just as well as stitching—saving time while keeping details neat and secure.
