CRAFTING TIP OF THE WEEK (#90) Working With Felt

Hi!

Quick tip today.

Do you like using felt on projects but find it a little challenging to work with?

Sometimes it can be hard to cut. If you find that to be the case when you are working with it, try gluing your felt to a piece of cardstock. Let it dry completely before proceeding to cut it.

One thing I found helpful was to trace my design or desired shape (intended for the felt) on the back of the cardstock I adhered the felt to. I also have used templates or stencils for this. Then I just cut it freehand with a good pair of sharp scissors.

Hope this helps someone out there!

Have a great week.
