Craftin' Over Here!
Material Use (Feels the Vibe)
- Yellow, Orange, Black, and White Felt
- Fabric Scissors
- Pins
- Tape
- Glue (Hot Glue or Tacky Glue)
- Stuffing (Optional)
Lion Time (Ain't No Joke)
- Stenciling Felt: Draw or trace a lion shape on some felt and cut it out. You can go all out with details like manes, ears, and eyes.
- Cut Out the Deets: Slice smaller shapes for the mane, ears, and eyes from contrasting colors. For the mane, chop strips of felt in a darker hue than the lion's body.
- Assemble the Lion: Stick the mane strips around the lion's noggin, starting from the back and moving towards the front. Attach the ears and eyes with glue.
- Backing's Crackin': If you fancy a more polished look, slice a second lion shape for the backing. Stick the backing to the front piece, leaving an opening for stuffin'.
- Stuffin' It Up: Shove that lion shape with polyester fiberfill through the opening, and you're well on your way!
- Seal the Deal: Use glue to close the opening.
Sun Time (Shine On!)
- Design and Cut the Sun: Draw or trace a sun shape on paper or use a template. Consider those radiant rays too! Cut it out from yellow felt.
- Slice the Sun Rays: Chop out little triangular shapes from orange or yellow felt for the sun's rays.
- Build the Sun: Attach the rays around the sun's body with glue.
- Need a Backing? Again, cut out a second sun shape for the backing if desired. Stick that to the front piece, leaving an opening for stuffin'.
- Stuff It: Stuff the sun shape with polyester fiberfill through the opening.
- Seal the Opening: Use glue to close it up.
Extras (Get'cha Groove On)
- Color Combos: Go wild with various hues for a summer vibe!
- Add Some Finer Details: Use markers or thread to add whiskers or texture.
- Encourage Participation: Let the campers put their personal touch on their pillows with names or decoration elements.
These no-sew felt pillows aren't just a craft project; they're a fun and easy way to jazz up your summer camp. So, get craftin' and make some amazing keepsakes!
