We consider this Felt Hobby horse a medium-difficulty project and a wonderful introduction to making larger, fully three-dimensional felt creations. If this is your first 3D project, take heart — just trust the process and keep sewing! The design is based on Krista’s beloved Wild Horse, and you’ll recognize the same gentle curves and sweet expression that make her original so special. With a bit of patience and a good playlist, the whole piece comes together beautifully.

One detail we absolutely adore is the tiny white catch light stitched into the eyes. It’s such a simple touch, but it gives this Felt Hobby Horse its irresistible cuteness. It also adds warmth, personality, and that spark of life kids instantly connect with. It's these small accents that remind us just how powerful handmade toys can be.

Once finished, your Felt Hobby Horse is ready for some lucky cowboy or girl to ride around the pondarosa. Also, we encourage you  to personalize the colors, add decorative reins, or stitch on tiny markings to make it uniquely theirs.

We truly can't wait to see how you bring this sweet Felt Hobby Horse to life! Share your finished project with us using the hashtag #MadeWithLia on all social media platforms, and don’t forget to post in our crafters’ community so we can inspire each other this holiday season!
