Strawberry trading card case
https://www.tiktok.com/@nagomi2626/video/7505642570266053906A strawberry trading card case that combines the gentle feel of felt with a cute design.
The overall shape is inspired by a strawberry, with felt fabric giving the edges a soft, rounded look.
In the center, incorporate a transparent material and an opening/closure so the trading card fits securely.
The inside of the case is structured to protect the card, while the outside is decorated with felt pieces for the strawberry’s seeds and leaves, creating a fun, eye-catching finish.
It’s a design that stands out when carried around and makes a delightful gift as well as a personal accessory.
Because it’s enjoyable both for storage and decoration, it’s a recommended idea that balances craftiness with practicality.
Mask case
Sometimes you need to take off your mask, right? For example, when you’re eating or touching up your makeup, you might want to remove it for a moment—but where do you put it? In those moments, this felt mask case is perfect.
Felt doesn’t fray at the cut edges, so you can make it without sewing.
First, prepare a pattern sized to fit the mask you use.
Cut the felt to match the pattern and fold it in half.
Attach a snap so it won’t open when folded.
Adding a patch or applique of your choice makes it extra cute.
small accessory case
Let’s make a small pouch that could be perfect for Christmas or Valentine’s Day.
Fold a piece of felt in half and cut it into a shape like half of an ellipse, then make slits on the folded edge.
Make two of these, and weave the slitted parts together in a checker pattern—the pieces will form a heart.
Finally, attach a braided handle and you’re done.
Since it’s felt, it can’t hold very heavy items, but it’s perfect for treats and the like.
Give it a try!
planter
Felt is a thicker and sturdier material than ordinary fabric, isn’t it? Many people probably use felt to make bags and cases.
In fact, you can also make planters for growing plants out of felt.
Prepare a long piece of felt and cut it so it can be assembled into a box.
Sew it with a sewing machine, then fold over the edges of the box-shaped felt, and your planter is complete.
You can even use leftover felt from making the planter to create a small box that works as a flowerpot.
Felt planters and pots can make your garden look lovely.
felt corsage
A corsage made with felt is a project that combines visual elegance with ease of crafting.
Prepare two pieces of felt measuring 8 cm by 18 cm, stack them, fold them in half, and make fine cuts along the folded edge.
Roll from one end to form a flower shape, then secure the end with glue to complete a three-dimensional corsage.
Cut a round piece of felt to match the bottom, and attach it along with a safety pin to use it as a brooch.
By playing with color combinations, you can create a unique design that appeals to both children and adults.
Enjoy the feel of the fabric as you make a one-of-a-kind decoration—an experience that will become a fond memory.
Felt pencil case
A pen case that’s useful in all kinds of situations—and one that even adults will want.
How about making your own by combining felt in your favorite colors? You can make it with simple materials like felt, string, buttons, and embroidery thread, all of which you can find at a 100-yen shop, so you can get started as soon as the idea strikes.
If you cut the felt flap a bit longer, you can wrap it around and secure it by twirling a string over the top; by adjusting the length, you can make not only a pen case but also a small pouch for accessories.

pencil cap
Why not try making pencil caps out of felt to protect the pencil lead? Prepare felt in your favorite colors to match the shape of the cap you want to make.
Cut the felt into your desired shape and sew the edges together to form a pouch, or use fabric glue to bond them.
If you’re going for an animal or character theme, add the facial features and arms/legs afterward.
You can create all kinds of shapes depending on how you cut the felt, so it’s also a great idea to make ones featuring your child’s favorite animals or characters!
