Hello all! Easter is right around the corner and its time to start decorating. I love to change things up a bit in our kitchen, at least set up a new centerpiece or plan the table settings ahead.
Today I’m using Simon Says Stamp Plush dies to create some fun and very easy to make Felt Easter Egg Cozies. Join me to learn how you can make these yourself!
Like this project? Remember to pin it and save for later!
I’ve filmed a video tutorial to show you in detail how these are made, you can watch it below or on my Youtube channel. If you like it, I would appreciate you giving it a thumbs up and sharing. You can also pin this video to Pinterest. Thank you!
All you need to make these egg cozies is some felt, a few dies and some thread. By using the larger Easter Egg die you can make a cozy for a large or medium size egg. There’s also a smaller Button Egg die, unfortunately its too small to be used as an egg cozy, yet still very cute and perfect for plush decorations.
I started by die cutting 2 egg halfs out of felt, there’s no need to cut an entire egg out, a half will do for a cozy. I also die cut Easter Bunny Ears using dies from the Plush Party Bunny Set, an Easter Basket handle from the Plush Springtime Basket set (I cut it apart and created a scalloped border) and a heart from Plush Button Egg set.
The egg inserts, scalloped border and the heart were all glued in place using glossy accents. I’m sure there is a glue designed specifically for felt out there, however I am mostly a paper crafter so I used what I had (and glossy accents seems to hold everything nicely).
The rest was hand stitched using a simple blanket stitch. I used thick white thread for stitching these, I also used it to create bows on the ears and on the little heart.
Bunny ears were stitched in place on some of my cozies and also adhered on the others. Either way is fine and holds well.

SIMON SAY STAMP SPRING PLUSH RELEASE
The “Spring Plush” release has a stamp set that was a collaboration with Neat & Tangled, lots of Plush dies, and even more beautiful felt! Made in Italy, It’s the most perfect felt for die cutting! The plush dies are great with felt, but also work beautifully on paper and some select thin fun foams. There are coordinating items in Simon Says Stamp store that work beautifully with felt.

Adorable and unique! I’d like to give this a try.
I can’t wait to try this new felt. I love the colors…so rich and lovely!
Love these. I can see variegated embroidery floss on them. Shorter lengths of thread, about 18″, are easier to handle also.
I have never worked with felt, but your creations inspire me….So Cute!
Awesome project! Thanks for sharing.
Very cute! I wish I could decorate the tables for Easter, but we have so many people, there isn’t room for decorations.. Still, Maybe a centerpiece. I love these!!

Just too cute, how fun they would be on the table for Easter dinner!!
Using glossy accents to attach heart etc. good idea!
I’ve tried die cutting with felt and LOVED the result. I haven’t done any more of this technique though.
Great project idea! I have used felt on my cards before, however I have never stitched on the die cuts which are usually flowers that I put a button or sequin in the middle with glue. I would like to try these dies though!
These are super cute! I’ve used felt to die cut flowers for cards – love the dimension!
What a FABULOUS idea!!! Egg Cozies seriously?! Thanks for the inspiration!
What an adorable idea! So cute for Easter!
These are so darn cute. I wouldn’t mind taking a stab at this.
These are absolutely adorable… and the second design on this hop I would like to duplicate. Also the second design that uses the basket die! Too bad the basket is already OUT OF STOCK!!! I get so frustrated ordering from Simon Says Stamp, because about half of what I want is usually out of stock. This is a major promotion. They shouldn’t be out of stock on day two of the promotion. Wish I could duplicate these for my grandkids!
Ohmy gosh, love the colors you used! Cute idea!
Love this idea it is so cute, have to try felt with my die cutting machine
All kinds of cuteness!
Very cute idea. I love the bright colors you used. Thanks for sharing.
