Ophelia the Opossum Stuffed Animal(Completely handmade from repurposed textiles, from body to inside materials)
 
The Ophelia the Opossum stuffed animal comes in three different styles: gray, red plaid, and green/blue plaid. Her tail is stuffed and bendable, perfect for hanging around!
 
Each Ophelia is handmade by the author and takes 2-3 weeks to ship. Since each is one of a kind, slight variations in materials and button-eye shapes may occur.
 
Note from the Author/Toymaker:
 
The Ophelia stuffed animal pattern is my own creation, and it’s an extension of my art! I source all of my materials secondhand to encourage young ones to see that there’s always a way to repurpose something. Each stuffed animal comes with a tag that I encourage parents to read with their children, explaining how Ophelia was made.
 
*Please note that children under the age of 4 years should play with supervision*
