Poly-Fil Puffy Elephant Project Showcase

If you are a crafter, you are probably like me always on the hunt for free projects.  I use fiberfill all of the time and there is a pattern on the back of the Poly-fil bags.  As you can see from the photo above, it is a stuffed elephant.  I was curious to see how it would turn out.

It was an easy project and could be completed within a couple of hours.

I decided to make three elephants. They were going to be a gift for three different children in the same household, so I made them exactly the same. You could do a monogram on the rump area which would be very sweet.

I also chose to use two different fabrics.  Convertible toys are a unique gift item and will add to the imaginative play.

The original pattern did not include a tail, but I thought it would be an easy addition by using ribbon and yarn.  You can really customize these as much as you want.  The eye for my elephants was done with an embroidery machine. You could hand embroider or use buttons, ribbon or paint.  Just be mindful of the receiver and be safe with things that might be a choke hazard.

The Poly-fil brand is very common and I use it a lot because it is the brand my local stores carry(*No affiliation*). They also have a website that has many more project ideas. You can click here to be redirected. I have a download below with more detailed instructions than what are printed on the bags. There are color pictures and my process.  I also have a download below for the embroidery file of the eye. This was digitized by me and you are free to use it for any projects. There should be several different file types in the zipped file so I am hoping you will be able to use it on any embroidery machine with a 4x4 hoop size. If you use the file for any projects, I'd love to hear about it. Let me know through the comments below or on my contact page.   I hope you have enjoyed this post, share what you have learned and are generous with what you make. Someone will appreciate your hard work.
