Felt Treasure Chest Project

Looking for a fun activity for the kid's during the winter?  Why not try making this simple to make Felt Treasure Chest!  When they are done they get to stash their treasure in it.  For an extra spin, why not hide your own treasure in it and make a treasure map to go on a scavenger hunt for the afternoon?

Felt Puppet Pocket Apron

Our Director of Sales made this adorable Puppet Pocket Apron last night and I could not wait to show it off to you guys (modeled by one of our Product Managers!).

Here's how she made it:
1) She cut out the apron piece from a piece of felt sold by the yard using an existing pattern (like an apron you already own!)

2) She stitched the puppets onto the apron leaving the tops open so you can access the pocket.

3) She sewed across the edges with some 1" Grosgrain Ribbon to add a nice finishing detail and added some extra to go over your head and to tie around your back.

The beauty of this is that it can be altered for all shapes and sizes and makes playtime just that much more fun!

ABC Blocks Project

This is a fun craft that can be done in sync with your child's classroom or for a fun learning experience anytime!

My niece had a blast spelling out all the different words she knew when she say these laying around house!

Tips for Adhesive-Backed Felt

After spending some quality time working with our Stick-It Felt Sheets, Letters, and Shapes and our Quick Stick lines of products, I uncovered some fun tips to help make their use that much more enjoyable and your project longer-lasting.

1) To help remove the adhesive-backing on your felt, place the object in between your thumb and index finger and gently roll back and worth to help break the seal.  From there, just peel and stick to your space.

2) To acheive a stronger hold on your projects (as long as you are doing fabric-to-fabric), use an iron set on the lowest setting and a press cloth and gently press for a few seconds on your items.  This will help create a stronger hold.
