Let’s make a colorful and cute caterpillar pin using felt balls.

You’ll need scissors, glue, a wooden pin/clip, felt balls, googly-eye stickers, chenille stems (pipe cleaners), sequins, and so on.

First, attach the felt balls to the wooden pin.

A key tip is to let the glue dry slightly before sticking on each piece.

Once that’s done, add the antennae and eyes, and decorate with sequins if you like.

And you’re finished! Besides the caterpillar, you can also use felt balls to make items like dango (dumplings) or fruit, so give those a try too.

Let’s try making delicious-looking donuts out of felt that look like they could be sold in a shop.

Cut out two pieces of felt using a donut-shaped template, then sew them together while stuffing them with cotton to complete the donut.

A simple old-fashioned donut is nice, but let’s take it a step further.

By using beads or felt in different colors, you can create donuts with chocolate sprinkles or a chocolate glaze.

You can also vary the number of threads and stitching styles to add decoration, which will expand your donut repertoire even more.

These colorful felt donuts are sure to be fun to make, too.
