Change Your Life with Felt Accessories! A Collection of Practical Handmade Ideas (21–30)
necklace
Let’s try making a necklace using felt in various colors.
Take strips of felt, fold each strip in half, secure it with a hot glue gun or similar, and roll it up tightly.
By changing the length of the strips, you can make larger or smaller rolled pieces.
Glue the rolled pieces together, attach a cord with metal findings, and your necklace is complete.
Of course, you can also cut the felt into any shapes you like to create a necklace.
Have fun making lots of lovely pieces!
placemat
Let’s try making placemats out of felt for mealtime! Prepare two colors of thick felt that you like.
Cut one color into thin, long vertical strips and the other into thin, long horizontal strips.
Combine them by weaving the strips together to create a checkerboard pattern.
Staple the edges to hold them in place.
Once everything is woven, trim off any excess ends, then glue another piece of felt around the perimeter to create a border—and you’re done! They’re easy to make, so feel free to make plenty for your family and guests.

Here’s an idea for making a cake-patterned trinket holder using paper cups.
First, take one paper cup and cut straight down from the rim to the bottom, then cut out the bottom as well.
Use this as a base, and decorate it by attaching felt or construction paper on top so it looks like a cake.
Once you’ve finished decorating the base, stick it onto another paper cup to complete the holder.
It’s quick, cute, and you can customize the decorations however you like, so it’s highly recommended! Plus, with a bit of ingenuity, you can add a lid to the trinket holder—give it a try if you have the time.
Heart candy bag
A heart-shaped candy bag made from felt is just too cute, right? Since you don’t need needles or thread, you can enjoy making it with your kids.
All you do is cut the felt with scissors and put the pieces together, so it’s super easy.
Try choosing colorful felt and mixing and matching the pieces.
It’s also a great idea to fill the finished bag with candy and give it to friends as a gift.
bag
One of the convenient things about felt is that you can use it as is after cutting without finishing the fabric edges.
Why not take advantage of that and make a bag? All you need are a large sheet of felt—available even at 100-yen shops—and scissors.
First, you’ll mark out the pattern, but there’s no need for a paper template; just draw lines with a ruler.
Cut out the handle section and braid it, and for the sides that form the body of the bag, simply tie together the slits you’ve made.
Once you’ve tied the handle securely, you’re done.
It actually holds more than it looks!
scrunchie
Here’s an idea for making a super easy yet cute scrunchie.
First, cut felt into lots of thin strips.
Punch holes at the top and bottom of each strip, then thread them all onto an elastic.
After that, tie the elastic and slide the felt pieces up and down to spread them out—and you’re done.
Even though it’s just threaded felt, it looks like a lovely flower.
Using a single color of felt works, but mixing several colors makes it bright and adorable.
Because it’s soft, it’s easy for kids to use, and it’s also great that you can wash it if it gets dirty.
In conclusion
Small felt items, with their uniquely gentle texture and warmth, add a touch of color to everyday life.
Enjoy the ease of getting started with handmade crafts and the joy of finishing a project.
Because these are practical items made with simple methods, have fun creating your own personal arrangements through color combinations and motifs, and make a one-of-a-kind piece in the world.
