Felt Crafts - Versatile and Fun
Fabulous Felt Crafts - Flowers and More
I've completed many fun craft projects using felt. It's a very versatile material. Felt comes in a wide variety of colors and can be used to make a whimsical and welcoming felt flower arrangement like the one pictured or any of the other projects on this page.
Shown in the picture, I hot glued felt to the tip of these found sticks, wound green florist tape at the bottom to hide any glue, secured a few old buttons in the center of some and displayed them in a milkglass vase. This felt craft won't lose it's bloom anytime soon.

This set of 4 felt Christmas ornaments I gifted to my two great nieces and two great nephews. Giving each their own look and personality is 3/4 the fun in making these. It's easy! Katie from Punk Projects has this great tutorial.

Elsie Marley was where I found the PDF pattern and instructions to make this half eaten gingerbread man Christmas ornament. This is one of my favorite felt crafts. Make several and attach to top of Christmas packages for a little bonus.
Some Felt Crafts are Simply Beautiful!
Strictly for inspiration, I've included this striking felt craft pin found on Make Handmade. The monochromatic color scheme is the perfect canvas to highlight a few faux pearls and shiny sequins. I may have to try to replicate this felt craft into a Christmas ornament for someone special.

@OhMe: Thanks for the heads up. I fiddled with it and had to end up removing the poll. Couldn't figure out the problem, but thanks for letting me know.
Everytime I would try to answer the poll, I would automatically be directed to Squidoo - Go Fish page. Just wanted to let you know. I enjoyed seeing all these fun felt crafts
You have a great selection of felt crafts here! I made some felt animals (just cut outs) the other day. Fun stuff to work with!
Wonderful felt crafts you've showcased here on this lens. Blessed! :)

@Faye Rutledge: Thank you! Yes, I did make the chair seat with leather belts. Just finished a lens about upcycled leather belts today https://hubpages.com/art/up-cycle-leather-belts and it has a link to my Sallygoodin blog where I have a tutorial. :)
I love the felt flowers at the top. So cute!
I love your felt projects. I still have felt Christmas ornaments from when my kids were little. I can't help but notice the chair in the photo of the petal pillow...are those belts woven in the seat of that chair?? It's awesome!!
These are some fun ideas, and some should work well with children.

@Frischy: My mom kept a bright green clay foot (with blue toenails) pencil holder I made. Actually, she still has it in her sewing room. ha Mom's are the greatest, huh? :)
I just have to add that those Christmas ornaments made me smile. They are so cute and fun! They would make fun gifts for teachers. Hmmm...
My felt memory is making a pencil holder for my mom out of a tin can covered with felt when I was 5 or 6 years old. Seems like she kept it a long time, but I am pretty sure it is long gone by now. Thank you for the memory!
When I was a children's librarian, I used felt a lot to make flannelboard stories for storytime.

@bossypants: You always have the greatest comments; some things never change!
Felt takes me back to my Camp Fire Girl days! I'll always remember when my mom handed out the squares of felt with patterns for us to cut circles (which we were to glue on white painted coffee cans as storage containers). It's hard to keep an eye on 10 girls and before Mom knew it, one of the girls had cut circles out of the CENTER of several squares. Each square should have yeilded 4 circles, not just one. My "waste-notwant-not" mother was NOT amused.
Love your ideas. I want that adorable pillow!
I love felt. It's a versatile medium and can be used in so many crafts! And it's cheap.
