Why Felt is Perfect for Creative Projects
Felt is soft, versatile, and incredibly forgiving — making it the ideal material for both beginners and experienced crafters. It doesn’t fray, it’s easy to cut, and its vibrant colours and textures mean you can create beautiful, tactile projects in a short amount of time. Plus, felt projects are perfect for seasonal décor, gifts, or adding a personal touch to your home.
1. Coasters
Start small with felt coasters — they’re practical, quick to make, and add a pop of colour to your table. Simply cut shapes from felt, layer if you like, and add decorative stitching or embellishments. You can personalise them with initials, patterns, or festive designs.
2. Ornaments
Felt ornaments are a charming way to decorate your home, especially during the winter months. Stars, hearts, or simple seasonal shapes can be stitched or glued together, then hung on hooks, windows, or even a tree. Kids and adults alike will enjoy creating these little bursts of colour.
3. Garlands
Bring a bit of cheer to a room with a simple felt garland. Cut out shapes like circles, leaves, or snowflakes, then string them together. You can mix colours and textures to create something unique. Garlands are ideal for mantels, windows, or doorways — and they make a lovely handmade gift too.

4. Gift Toppers
Add a personal touch to your presents with felt gift toppers. Small flowers, stars, or geometric shapes stitched or glued together instantly transform plain wrapping into something special. It’s an easy way to impress friends and family with minimal effort.
5. Wreaths
A felt wreath is a stunning statement piece for your home, and it’s easier to make than you might think. By layering felt pieces in harmonious colours, adding textures and subtle details, you can create a winter-inspired wreath that looks professional and feels cosy. This is the perfect introduction to more ambitious felt projects and a great way to explore colour and composition.
