Felt Learning Board

Felt Learning Board

Supplies needed:
Stretched canvas
Staple gun and staples
Several pieces and colors of felt.
scissors

This project is simple to create. 

Trim your piece of felt leaving at least two inches

Staple around sides of canvas pulling felt tight.

After stapling the felt to the frame on the back of the canvas trim excess felt.

I cut out and sewed together the felt to create a heavier and sturdier letter and number.

  Felt sticks to felt.

This is a great project to be used as a learning tool or to play with.

11. Toy Suitcase - My first craft project completed for 2011. 

When my little boy goes somewhere he always has a handful of tractors, cars, dogs, cows and horses in his hands.  He needed something to carry those toys in when we leave the house.  I decided to make him a toy suitcase.  I don't like putting his toys in his bag because they always fall to the bottom and you have to dig or take everything out to get to them.  This is my solution.
