    30 Felt Craft Tutorials (Toys, Gifts and More!)

    January 9, 2025 By Brandy 2 Comments

    From stuffed animals to bookmarks and baskets to candy pouches here are 30 felt craft tutorials to make. A variety of no sew and simple sewing projects!

    Felt is one of my favorite fabrics to work with. It sticks to itself, is easy to cut and sew and is inexpensive. It's the perfect fabric for kids to work with because it's soft but stable. While it might not be as durable in the long run, it's a great option for craft projects. I've divided the post into 3 sections to make it easier to navigate. It was fun putting these collections together and made me realize that I have A LOT of felt craft tutorials on here!
