Easy for elementary school kids! A cute collection of felt mascot ideas (11–20)
Felt pencil case
A pencil case that comes in handy in all sorts of situations—even adults will want one.
How about making one by combining your favorite felt colors? You can make it with simple materials like felt, string, buttons, and embroidery thread, and you can pick them all up at a 100-yen shop, so you can start as soon as the idea strikes.
For the flap, cut the felt a bit longer so it wraps all the way around, then wind string around it from the top.
By adjusting the length, you can make not only a pen case but also a small pouch for accessories.
Dice made from felt fabric
Which character will it be? Let me share an idea for making dice out of felt.
What you’ll need: felt, a needle, thread, and scissors.
Since the dice are made of felt, they have a soft, gentle texture that’s really appealing.
The character faces are cute, and the colorful dice are sure to get kids excited! If you add number designs as an extra touch, children can also get familiar with numbers while playing—highly recommended! Give it a try!
dinosaur mascot
Here’s an introduction to making dinosaur mascots out of felt.
By using soft felt fabric, you can turn dinosaurs—often seen as a bit scary—into cute creations.
Trace and cut out the dinosaur’s body and parts like the eyes from felt.
You can find templates online, which makes things convenient.
The key is to sew the parts symmetrically to match the two body pieces of the dinosaur.
Sew the parts on, then stitch the two body pieces of felt together while stuffing them with filling.
By changing the felt colors and facial features, you can create dinosaurs with all kinds of different vibes.
Give it a try and make a unique, one-of-a-kind piece!
Felt coaster
How about making felt coasters that even first-time crafters can create? Felt coasters are very handy because they absorb the condensation from cold drinks.
First, prepare three pieces of felt and place some cellophane tape on top to mark the outer edge.
After cutting out all three pieces, cut two of them in half.
It doesn’t have to be exactly in the middle—cut wherever you like.
Stitch the two cut pieces of felt together with a needle and thread.
It actually looks nicer if it’s not too neat.
Once they’re joined, apply glue to the remaining whole piece of felt, layer the stitched piece on top, and you’re done.
chick
You’ll want to protect it without thinking! Let’s make a felt chick mascot.
For the chick mascot, use yellow or white felt.
If you create a rounded shape overall, it will look even cuter, so making it three-dimensional is recommended.
In that case, imagine a beach ball and join together slightly narrow strips of felt to create a rounded form.
Stuff it generously with filling, and you’ll have an adorable chick you’ll want to take everywhere.
Kirby of the Stars
Let’s try making Kirby, the wildly popular character with a perfectly round pink body, out of felt! Ever since the Game Boy title “Kirby’s Dream Land” was released in 1992, new works have continued to come out across various media, including games, anime, and manga.
Please try creating Kirby in felt—a character so charming that people of all ages become captivated! If you can capture Kirby’s soft, squishy body just right, it will surely become one of your favorite creations.

Tsum Tsum-style Winnie the Pooh
Many children probably like Disney characters.
Among them, Pooh is not a complex design and can be made in a single color, so he’s a great choice for felt mascots.
Let’s make a Tsum Tsum-style Pooh from the popular game! Just create a pattern, cut the felt, sew it together, and stuff it with cotton.
If you loop a ribbon and sew it on as well, you can attach it to a bag as a keychain, or use it as a wall decoration or ornament.
Give it a try!
