Tips for Crafting with Felt

Buying multi-colored packs of felt is usually cheaper
Have a separate pair of scissors for cutting felt, so it stays sharp
You can keep an extra smaller pair of scissors for cutting detailed pieces
Use embroidery floss when sewing with felt, which can be divided or used as is
If you want your felt crafts to last, choose a good-quality wool felt over synthetic versions
For stuffing felt plushies, you can use fabric scraps or felt scraps instead of cotton wool

Now that we know what to do, let’s get right into the action with these fun felt crafts for kids!
