A Curated List of DIY Felt Projects for Christmas

If you've tried crafting with a type of fabric called felt, you may have realized by how versatile it can be. 

Felt is an easily accessible craft material, and more affordable when bought in bulk.

Available in a multitude of colors, felt fabric can easily be cut or trimmed into shapes, and sown together using needles in several sizes, and yarn or embroidery floss. 

While you may need to master basic sewing techniques to finish your felt projects, you can also use fabric glue for felt crafts.

Another advantage of felt is you can use a lot of craft materials to serve as accents: buttons, ribbons, cloth patches, twine, pom poms, tassels, and even miniature Christmas balls. 

In this blog post, I have curated a list of a total of 7 Christmas-themed felt projects. Taking crafters' skills from all backgrounds into consideration, the level of complexity of these DIY projects range from easy to moderate. 

You can create these felt crafts and keep some to yourself, and give the rest away as stocking stuffers, or as a present for your next Secret Santa. Just make sure to plan ahead, and you'll finish these felt crafts in no time.

(**DISCLAIMER: I have kept my Filipino readers in mind for this blog post, so I embedded affiliate links from Shopee for easier access to materials. These DIY projects were made with craft materials from North American brands.)
