Felt cuties






Here I would like to intro some DIY on how to make handcraft by using felt.It it easy and fun.By using felt,we can make a lots of cutie little dolls,brooches,hair clips,letter holders,key chains and many others lovely things.Then,we can take it as a gift that are made with love and care where it is not just purchased ready made from a store.So,gifts that are handmade by loves ones cannot easily be replaced and help to strengthen relationships.

Then,to do a simple felt key chain,we need to prepare some tools and materials such as scissor,needle,thread,different colours of felt,cotton and also a key chain holder.Then,we need to copy the shapes from the book or just design yourselves and then cut it out.Next,place the paper on felt and cut the shapes accordingly and choose the colour you want.Now,after everything has done,we can start the sewing process.To sew the two pieces of felt together,we used blanket stitch method.

First,put two pieces of felt together and start tacking on 0.2cm from the side.Then,when sewing it has to be evenly stitched.Keep on sewing until it comes to an end.Then,leave an opening of about 2cm and stuff with cotton.Sew up the opening after stuffing.Thats all the way to sew a keychain..it easy..really!!
