Felt magnet

[Easy] I tried making a magnet out of felt ☆ Snorlax

At first glance, it looks like a cute felt mascot…

but actually, it has a magnet inside so it sticks firmly to a fridge or other metal surfaces! Many households use magnets on the fridge to hold important papers.

Let’s make a felt mascot that’s practical too! It’s very easy: cut felt into your favorite shapes or characters, place two pieces together (front and back) and sew around the edges, glue a magnet inside, stuff it with cotton, then sew up the remaining opening—and you’re done! Try making lots with your favorite characters!

There are probably many people who feel that knitting is a bit of a high hurdle.

It can be especially tricky for kids’ crafts, depending on what you’re making.

Prepare slightly thicker yarn, loop it back and forth around your fingers, and hook the strands alternately; before you know it, you’ll have a tube.

Connect the two ends of the tube, and you’ve got an easy headband! Once you learn the technique, you can make all kinds of things.

An easy way is to wrap the ribbon around a strip of paper folded to 4 cm, then cut along the edge to make many at once.

Thread a needle and knot the end, then pass the needle through each ribbon piece folded into a teardrop shape with the ends overlapped.

Once they’re all on, push the ribbon pieces tightly toward the knot and tie off.

Shape the ribbon pieces into a hemisphere.

Thread a strap cord through a bead to use as an accent, then glue on the ribbon hemisphere you just made to finish.

Try different ribbons and beads to create your own cute decorations.

Walnut snap hair clip

Materials I arrived at after making over 100 pieces. Completely hand-sewn. How to make the fabric-covered snap hair clip you see on handmade sites. You can make it with small fabric scraps! Hair Accessories Tutorial

Here’s how to make covered snap hair clips that you can create even with small fabric scraps.

Since they’re handmade, you can match the clips to your clothes and style—so convenient! You’ll need snap hair clips, thin fabric scraps, felt, batting, and more.

Using no-iron adhesive sheets is recommended because they save effort and give a neat finish.

Place batting on a piece of fabric cut about 1 cm larger than the clip, stitch around the outside, pull to gather, and close it up.

From the back, whipstitch a piece of felt cut to the same size as the clip, and you’re done.
