How about another quick and easy felt project? I kinda {love} working with felt. How about you?

I’ve made felt birds, a felt tissue box cover and felt house ornaments. Let’s try our hand at a felt envelope!

Let’s grab our supplies and get this felt project under way!

Supplies for DIY Felt Envelope:

Felt

Embroidery Floss

Pins

Buttons

Scissors

Envelope Template

Glue (of choice) or Glue Gun

Step One: Do you have an envelope template? If not, maybe you have an extra envelope lying around that you can disassemble and use it as your template. Once you have that ready, let’s trace and cut.

Step Two: Fold in the lip on one side and then fold the larger flap over and pin. Repeat on the other side. At this point, you could iron down your creases, or you can wait till after your gluing is done. Totally up to you! You will definitely want to iron the creases down at some point.

Step Three: Seal your folds. However you choose to seal each fold is up to you — fabric glue, glue gun, stitch, etc. I chose the hot glue gun {a crafty girls best friend}!

Once you’ve glued the envelope closed — sew on a couple of buttons with your embroidery floss. After I finished sewing on my second button, I stitched a knot, then pulled the needle through between the button and the felt (not through a hole), so that it was still attached and could be used to wrap around the buttons for closure. It was practically impossible to capture that on camera, so I hope that makes sense. Once you’ve sewn on the buttons and your extra embroidery floss is in place for using as a closure, you’re DONE! Yay!



...and the sky is the limit. Use for {love} notes.

Gift a lovely piece of jewelry.

Embellish the front with rolled flowers.
