CORGI CROWN
Holly the corgi always carries herself with style and now with her new crown she has an extra bounce in her step! A fun accessory for any “top dog” Holly is going places. Some snipping and a few quick stitches will result in a gorgeous little crown fit for any dog. You can also make your crown with glue for a no-sew option. What do you say, Holly?
CORGI HOODY It’s a dog’s life!
How about a cosy corgi hoodie? All you’ll need is a fleecy hoody to up-cycle into this adorable diy corgi outfit. Perfect for snuggling up on the sofa or taking a walk around the block. Make your own Corgi Kigurumi in no time by following these simple steps. Try out Happythought’s sloth hoody tutorial.
PLANTER MINI GARDEN DECORATION
Make an adorable corgi planter using air or oven dry clay. Mold a ball of clay into a sitting corgi, then pack with earth and mini succulents for a unique planter. Paint on a happy face and little pink paws. See more here with a hanging sloth planter to make for your home garden.
CORGI CRAFTS FELT BROOCH
Make a needle felt brooch, full of corgi character. Sculpt unspun wool, using special needles to lock the fibers of wool together. Once you get to grips with the technique it is very satisfying and you can create wonderful characters in no time. Model your brooch on your own pet or favorite corgi. This project is not for younger crafters to tackle alone as the needles are very sharp, so please take care!
BEAUTIFUL ROCK PAINTING ACTIVITY
Rock painting is an unique and easy craft with fun results. All you’ll need is a couple of smooth stones or rocks from your garden, local park, or beach. Pick smooth, flat rocks, as it’s harder to decorate ones with ridges. If you can’t find them in nature (be careful where), check out your local craft store. Next, choose an image for your rock. You could be inspired by your own pet, a favorite photo, or your imagination. Sketch out your idea and off you go! You can give painted rocks as gifts, decorate your garden, or use as paperweights.
MUG DESIGN
Make your own special mug for tea time. This is an easy project and makes a great gift. Pick up some ceramic markers at your local craft store and get creative. Add a message to your mug or the name of your favorite corgi! Add a corgi smile on the bottom of your mug and you’ll have everyone else smiling, too!
CORGI MAGNETS
Magnets are so fun and easy to make, and useful, too! We couldn’t resist making a caute corgi face and classic corgi fluffy butt combo. This craft doesn’t take long and you can make as many different magnets as you like. Why not try out some different corgi poses? Once they’re ready use them on your fridge or notice board to keep on top of things!
COSY CORGI HAT PROJECT
Brave the cold with this cute and cosy fleecy hat. Choose your favorite corgi tones, or match to your own dog. The steps are so simple, so grab some fleece (or recycle an old top) and you’ll be rocking the corgi style in no time!
DIY PAPERCRAFT BOOKMARKS
Use the template in this book to make your very own corgi bookmark. What could be cuter than a friendly corgi peeping over the top of your book, keeping your place? All you need for this easy craft is card stock, colors, and glue. Color in your corgi any way you choose. So let’s get started!
CORGI STRING ART
String-art is a creative way to make a colorful picture, by wrapping thread around nails. Mix up the colors and have fun creating unique piece of artwork.

CORGI CRAFTS CUSHION
This corgi cushion will look lovely nestled on your sofa or bed. Choose a colorful patterned fabric for the top section, or recycle a pretty t-shirt or pillow case. You can fill your corgi cushion with stuffing or with recycled scrap fabric. Why not make a whole family of corgis, in different colors and patterns?
CORGI EYE MASK
Sleep easy with an adorable DIY corgi eye mask. Blocking out light helps to promote healthy sleep patterns. It’s much easier to fall asleep on a bright train, bus, or plane when you can pull a soft, cozy mask over your eyes to block out the world and drift off. This cute mask even has flappy corgi ears and is surprisingly easy to make. Perfect as a gift for the corgi lover in your life, especially if that happens to be you!
CORGI BEED BRACELET
Wear a corgi on your wrist with loom woven beadwork bracelet. Weave the pattern by inserting the weft threads (side to side threads) over and under the stationary warp threads (up and down threads). The warp threads are held in place by tension, and the weft threads, which hold your beads, are woven between them. Besides a bead loom, you’ll also need seed beads, thread, and needles.
CORGI PLATES CRAFT
This decoupage technique is surprisingly easy and gives great results. Use a patterned paper napkin to add a vibrant background or paint a bright color behind your image. Pick up some glass plates at your local hardware store and get creative. Display your plates on a dresser or fill a wall with plates for maximum impact!
