Felt Pieces: How to Make Your Own!

I have fond memories of the felt board and felt pieces that I grew up with and was wanting to buy some flannel board stories recently. ย I never knew how expensive felt pieces are! ย Even the set I found on Craigslist was over $100! ย After doing the iron-on onesie designs, I decided to use the same T-shirt iron-on transfers to make my own felt pieces!

I’m super giddy and thrilled at how perfectly they turned out, because this opens a whole new world of possibilities for the different felt characters and images I can make. ย I made these cute farm felt pieces using my printableย quiet bookย pdf, and then just ironed them onto felt. ย It took probably five minutes! ย Now I have cute felt pieces to go in my portable felt book!

How cute is this?! ย I found the 3 Little Pigs printable fromย kizclubย and made felt pieces from them. ย You can get the 3 pigs pdf here:ย 3 Little Pigs Printable

You can also make felt scripture story characters! ย I have a plan to do one new story each week so that eventually I have a filing cabinet full of each of the stories. ย You can get all of the scripture stories here:

Tips For Making Your Own Felt Pieces:

  • ย Just make sure that if you are ironing on an image with letters or numbers that you remember to reverse the image! ย I forgot that the pigs had numbers on their shirts so I skipped this step (the numbers are backwards).
  • Use the snipping tool to copy and paste as many images to one page as possible so that you don’t have to use as many transfer papers. ย I try to leave as little white space as possible, giving me more felt pieces per page.

    What an AWESOME IDEA!! I have wanted to make my boys a felt book for years but didn’t have time to make the individual pieces.

    I’m totally pinning this.

    Also, I’d love it if you would share this project this week for F-it Fridays-

    I LOVE this. I can’t believe what kind of options these felt characters will open up for my kids. I recently started a Thursday link-up party (yes, today:), and I would really love to see this post and/or any others you would like to include. I am at allthingswithpurpose.com. Hope to see you there and for many more Thursday’s to come!!

    I was first introduced to felt boards in Sunday school back in the 40’s. I used to love it when our teacher told us Bible stories using simple pieces of felt. She would choose someone to help her and i always had my hand in the air. Thanks for reminding me.

    I remember Flannel Boards being used when I was a kid – I went to some sort of Bible Lesson every week that was held at my school. I wanted my very own Flannel Board! This is a great idea.

    Thanks so much for joining in this week!
