Tips for cutting felt.

Felt is really hard to cut even as an adult, so make sure you have really sharp scissors. If you are trying to cut intricate designs then iron on some freezer paper to the rear. it gives the felt stability making it easier to cut and you can remove it and reuse it.

You can also use an iron on permanent stabiliser such as bondaweb and this will make it suitable for cutting in a machine such as a cricut and also make it less floppy for certain of these projects.

Lovely ideas!!! Can you recommend something for textile scraps? Simple textile is usually not so thick and strong like felt, so I’m wondering what could I possibly do with few old t-shirts and tops I have? They are not good to give them away, but have nice textiles I’d like to use. Thank you!
