Simple Crafts for Beginners (1–10)
Chick-chan Mascot
Let’s make a chick mascot with adorable, round eyes! Using yellow felt, create a template with a compass and cut out four leaf-shaped pieces.
On one piece, draw the eyes and beak, then stitch them with embroidery thread.
Once the eyes and beak are sewn, align it with the other felt pieces and join them using an overcast stitch.
When you’ve sewn about halfway around the last piece, stuff it with filling.
After adding the stuffing, sew it closed to the end, and it’s complete.
Name tag
Name tags are perfect when you want to try your hand at embroidery.
A name tag is a tag with your own name on it.
Attaching it to your belongings reduces the risk of losing them or mixing them up with someone else’s.
To get started, prepare some bag tape and use a design template to write your name in the alphabet on it.
Then simply embroider along the letters to finish.
It’s cute enough as is, but adding a small mark or motif as an accent makes it even nicer.
Teacup bookmarker
A perfect little accessory for anyone who loves reading: a cute teacup-shaped bookmark made of felt.
Start by creating templates for the teacup and the teabag.
The materials you’ll need are felt, a thin ribbon or cord, and embroidery thread.
Since each piece is small, you can likely make it using leftover felt scraps you already have at home.
Once you cut the felt according to the templates, all that’s left is to sew the pieces together.
The finer details might be a bit tricky, but taking it slow will be just fine.
It would also make a lovely gift.
bicolor tassel
How about trying to make a bi-color tassel? A tassel is an ornament made by bundling threads or finely cut leather.
You often see them on cushions and leather shoes.
This time, we’ll make a tassel using two colors of embroidery thread.
Choosing which colors to use with a sense of excitement is part of the fun.
By the way, adding larger beads will give it a more refined look.
Pick beads that match your color scheme and enjoy the selection process, too.
Felt ice cream
A cute ice cream mascot made of felt—wouldn’t it be adorable in lots of different colors? The materials you need are felt, embroidery thread, beads, stuffing, cardstock, and wood glue.
Just make a pattern, cut the felt in each color, and sew the pieces together.
For the ice cream toppings, sew on beads, and for the popsicle stick part, insert a piece of cardstock inside before sewing it up.
A bunch of colorful ice creams look cute just lined up, and they’d also be adorable as brooches if you attach a pin!
