How to Stiffen Felt

Muslin Tooth Fairy Bags with Fairy Embroidery Pattern
Evan is about to lose his third tooth, so it’s time to start thinking about the tooth fairy again. You might remember, I already made him this bag last year. I shouldn’t have used acrylic felt (see my post about felt here) so it didn’t hold up very well. This time around, I decided to […]
Types of Felt
If you haven’t noticed, I have a lot of felt crafts on my blog. I really love felt. So far, I’ve just been using acrylic felt from the craft store because it’s cheap, and honestly I didn’t know very much about the different types of felt. Acrylic is fine to use for things that won’t […]

Free Quiet Book Patterns
I made this quiet book for my son, Evan, on his third birthday. I wanted something different from the average quiet book with zippers and buttons. I had a ton of felt left over from another project, so I made my book from that. I suggest making it out of something else if you plan on washing it. At […]
Nativity Advent Calendar
My advent calendar is finally finished just in time for a countdown to Christmas! I searched and searched for some figures to make for my nativity that I liked. I finally found some here at barefoot in the kitchen. For my calendar, each piece was made with rainbow felt and is at least two layers thick. A round piece of the […]
