Cutting Felt Tips

We’ve found the best way to cut felt pieces out is with the freezer paper method. This is why we’ve included freezer paper with all our felt kits, even though the project’s instructions may not suggest it. For step-by-step instructions on using the freezer paper method visit Felt with Love Designs.

Sewing by Hand Basics

All the felt projects this summer can be sewed by hand or with a sewing machine. If you’ve never sewed by hand before check out Stitches and Techniques for Hand Sewing from The Spruce Crafts or Hand Sewing Basics from Sew 4 Home. YouTube is also a great resource to watch videos of sewing basics in action.

Special Notes:

  • In order to create these kits cost effectively a few changes have been made:
    • No duplicate buttons for additional sheet, no wooden ring, or strung beads.
    • The cat, dog, and owl arms will be attached like the dinosaur’s arms with buttons. Hand sewing? Check out The Spruce Craft’s How to Do Buttonhole Stitch for hand sewing a buttonhole.
