How To Make Felt Dinosaur Craft
Print or Draw the Template: Download the dinosaur template and print it on sturdy paper, or draw your version inspired by the template.
Cut the Felt: Fold a piece of felt in half and place the template over it. Trace the design with a pencil, then carefully cut along the traced lines.
This will give you two identical cutouts.
Sew the Edges: Keeping the cutouts together, start sewing along the edges using your needle and nylon thread. Remember to use a simple stitch that keeps the felt securely together.
Add Fillers: Once you’ve sewn about halfway, fill the dinosaur’s body with your chosen filler material to give it some volume. Then continue sewing to close it up completely.
Attach Features: Use fabric glue or a glue gun to attach the frills and pattern dots to the dinosaur’s body.
Finish by adding googly eyes or felt pieces for a fun expression.
Roar Away: Your DIY felt dinosaur is now ready to bring some prehistoric fun to your space!
