How do you cut shapes from felt?
Many find the thought of cutting fabric like felt intimidating. But even kids can do it! The trick is having the correct scissors. Other fabrics are not as forgiving as felt and need very sharp fabric scissors for cutting.
It is possible for kids to cut felt with good children’s scissors. Most scissors for kids are made well and can do the job. If the project involves cutting into corners, semi-pointed scissors work best.
Be prepared for a rainy day by looking through the list of felt crafts below, and getting the supplies ready.
For example, the cat bookmarks from Happiness is Homemade is the cutest activity for kids to make. It is best for older kids since it involves some intricate cutting, but the littles can do this felt craft too with some cutting help from an older sibling or adult.
This felt craft involves gluing and googly eyes; what more could a kid want?!
The seasonal felt activities for kids are a lot of fun too and would be great as a craft for seniors as well.
Don’t miss the two felt ornaments using many felt squares to form a Christmas tree and a wreath. Once the felt is cut, simply string the felt squares together with needle and thread. So easy and so cute!!!
A fun ornament craft for the little ones just starting to hand sew is the star and button ornament from Red Ted Art. This felt craft for kids involves just a little bit of hand sewing, which can be a good starter for kids since the stitches can be long and large and uneven and still look adorable.
The kiddos love buttons, and for this ornament they can choose several colorful buttons to sew on the front. I love this project since the skills of sewing two fabrics together and sewing on buttons is something all kids need to learn!
