Tips for Cutting Felt Perfectly

If you’ve used felt previously, you know how difficult it is to get it off the sticky surface thanks to all the lint. It’s certainly not easy at all and can ruin the mats as well.

A quick hack to prevent your mats from getting covered in lint is to cover the mat with the contact paper. Keep the sticky side of the contact paper facing up so you can stick your felt on the sticky side. This will ensure all the lint sticks to the contact paper rather than the mat.

Okay now let’s have a look at all the supplies now.

Supplies Needed for DIY Felt Frog Craft [TEMPLATE+SVG]

–Felt sheets (preferably green, but you can make your frog in any color you like)
–Cricut Rotary Blade /fine point blade [this depends on the type of felt you use. If you’re using acrylic felt, you’d need the rotary blade. If you’re using plain felt, you can cut it out using the fine point blade.]
Sewing machine and matching thread OR a felt glue if you don’t know how to sew.
Polyester batting to fill inside the felt frog plush to give it a 3D shape

Assembling the Felt Frog:

Take the big base pattern (backside of the frog plush) and the 2 separate leg patterns. Place the separate leg patterns on the similar leg layouts on both sides of the base pattern.

Place the separate bottom pattern on the bottom layout of the base pattern. Use thread (or fabric glue) to join the separate legs and bottom part together. We placed them on the base pattern to make sure that they are attached correctly together.

Stitch/glue the eyes and blush cutouts on the head pattern [if stitching, use a black thread to stitch the mouth and nose of the frog]. Now place the head cut out on the bottom cut out (joined with the legs now) and glue/stitch them together.

Stitch or glue the semi-circular brown cutout along the middle of the bottom part of the stitched parts of the frog.

Now place the stitched parts (the front side of the frog) on the top of the big base pattern (the backside of the frog). Stitch/glue around the sides to join both patterns together.

Keep a small opening to stuff the felt frog with cotton or scrap felt. Stuff the felt frog through the opening and keep filling until you are satisfied with the size.
