Make a set of felt makeup to add to your little lady’s dress-up box! A compact, lipstick, makeup brush, and eye shadow. All made from felt!
Felt Makeup Set For Kids
My daughter loves watching me get ready in the morning and always wants me to put my makeup on her. Um….she’s not quite 3 years old yet, a bit too young for that. I had a hard time finding anything that would be age-appropriate for her. Do they not make fake plastic makeup anymore? Maybe I just didn’t look in the right places because all I could find was pretend “real” makeup, and what a mess that would be.
So I decided to make her a one. She liked the little eye shadow applicator from a pack I had in my bathroom, so we just kept it, but it would have been easy to make one to match out of felt as well.
How To Make Felt Makeup
I don’t have a pattern or full-on tutorial to share, but hopefully, these visuals will give you an idea!
You’ll need felt, fiberfill, a needle and thread, and a sewing machine.
It’s all basic shapes and simple sewing. Get creative and have fun!
How To Make Felt Eyeshadow
The eye shadow was pretty simple. 4 rectangles cut from felt and another strip to connect the two sections. I sewed the accessories and decorative touches on first, then sewed the backs on them while sandwiching the connector piece in between.
