Easy for elementary school kids! A cute collection of felt mascot ideas (11–20)
Snorlax

Let’s try making Pokémon characters out of felt that kids will love too! How about Snorlax, with its adorably plump, big-bodied form? It uses only a few colors and doesn’t require many parts, so even elementary school children can make it easily.
The eyes, mouth, and fangs are embroidered, but if you’re not confident or find it troublesome, it’s totally fine to draw them directly with a pen! Sew on a ribbon or elastic to turn it into a keychain, or put a magnet inside to transform it into an original fridge magnet!
Minion strap

Why not try making a handmade Minion-style strap out of felt? Use a compass to draw a circle on yellow felt and cut it out.
Make two identical pieces.
Place blue felt over the yellow felt and use it as a template to cut the blue parts.
Layer the yellow body pieces and sew them together with a blanket stitch, then stuff with filling.
Glue on the face parts and the blue parts, attach the strap, and you’re done.
It’s really fun to make Minions with different expressions.
Give it a try!
Ice cream mascot

This is a delicious-looking ice cream mascot made from felt.
Once the ice cream is finished, you can place it in a felt cone cup or a paper-style cup.
If you’re using a cone cup, insert a piece of cardboard inside the felt cone to help it keep a nice shape.
The ice cream is made by sewing together felt cut to a pattern, stuffing it with batting, and then sewing it closed.
Try making it in your favorite shapes—round scoops, soft-serve swirls, and more.
Turning it into animal shapes like rabbits or bears makes for an especially cute creation.
Please use this as inspiration for making your own charming felt ice cream mascots.
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.
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.
