Festive Felt - Sarah Tremelling
Cute for Kids
Felt Crowns
Dressing up is great fun whether you’re four or forty-four. This is a simple design and children will not only enjoy playing with it but also personalizing it with ‘jewels’.
You will need
• Two 25cm (10in) squares of felt
• Twenty felt balls
• Three to six wet-felted hearts or pre-cut felt shapes
• Sewing thread
Method
1 Using the templates provided, cut out the three crown pieces. Cross stich or glue the sides to the front panel with the cut edge to the cut edge, not overlapping (Fig 1).
2 Cut a 2cm (3⁄4in) slit on one end (as shown on the template) and stitch a felt ball on the other side — this will form your fastening.
3 Decorate the front panel with the felt balls and pre-cut felt shapes or the wet-felted hearts. Pin and then stitch them into place. Attach the felt balls to the points, positioning them 0.5cm (1⁄4in) beneath the actual tip, to give extra support and to stop the tips from flopping over (Fig 2).
Further Felty Ideas
• Make a crown on an American Indian theme by using feathers and wooden beads.
• Create a flower fairy crown by using pre-cut felt flowers and leaves.
Finger Puppets
These finger puppets are, quite literally, child’s play! As well as the fun of playing with them, children can get involved in making them too. They are a perfect size to take on a boring car journey or bus ride — just the ticket to pass the time or entertain others. Eight different designs are shown but you could easily create more.
You will need
• A stack of different coloured 15cm (6in) felt
