Felt crafts: How to Make Them

All These Crafts Are Simply Felt

Felt is really an inexpensive craft supply, and yet you can make really outstanding projects with it. Felt is the perfect option when it comes to kids crafts, especially since it can be used instead of regular fabric.

Instead of having to sew the project, many times glue can be used. There are so many projects that can be made with felt, and using felt is quick and easy. I've searched to see how many felt crafts that I could find, that also included pictures of the project and directions for making the craft.

In this article I am sharing the pictures with you and also the site address that will take you directly to the directions. This should save you a lot of time, since you won't have to check each image to see if is an item that is only for sale, and therefore there are no directions or patterns. You can make any of the felt crafts shown below.

These little owls and the directions on how to make them are found at Juicy Bits.

Felt Froggie

Be careful, you might want to kiss him---and then he'd turn into a handsome man instead of staying his cute little green self. I love it. Go to family.com for the directions on how to make the little froggie.
