What You Need To Make Your Halloween Felt Projects
These are the basic items you’ll need for most of these Halloween projects:
- Felt fabric (your choice of 100% wool felt, craft felt, or a blend)
- Fabric pen
- Fabric scissors
- Embroidery needles
- Embroidery thread
- Sewing pins
How To Choose The Right Felt For Your Project
Are you trying to decide which type of felt to use?
Your options are:
- 100% wool felt
- wool blend felt
- synthetic craft felt
Use 100% wool felt if you want the best quality material for your Halloween felt craft project.
It will last longer, it’s softer than synthetic craft felt and is great for making heirlooms and decorations if you want to reuse them every Halloween.
Go with craft felt if you’re a new sewist or looking for a budget-friendly material for your Halloween projects.
Craft felt also comes in a wider range of (brighter) colors than wool felt, so this is the perfect option if you have a specific color you want to use.
If you are looking for a wider variety of colors AND a better quality felt that won’t break the bank, then choose a wool blend felt.
Halloween Fun Crafts: Safety Tips
A lot of these Halloween felt crafts are simple enough to make with kids.
You could also use some of these projects to introduce little ones to sewing basics.
Practice these safety tips when crafting with children:
- Start with plastic needles. These keep their fingers prick-free while still allowing them to sew through felt fabric.
- Pre-cut the Halloween felt cutouts. You’ll need sharp fabric scissors to cut felt fabric, so it’s best to help toddlers out by cutting the pattern pieces for them. For older kids, make sure they’re supervised when doing any cutting.
- Use tacky glue or fabric glue. These are the more kid-friendly glue options for no-sew projects. Hot glue, super glue, and spray glue are not suitable for kids.
FAQs
Can You Glue Halloween Crafts Instead Of Sewing?
Yes, you can glue Halloween crafts instead of sewing. If you’re sticking felt to felt, you can use fabric glue or tacky glue. For projects where you need to stick fabric to other materials like plastic or cardboard, use a hot glue gun or super glue.
Can You Use Felt To Make Full Halloween Costumes?
Felt is not a good material for making full Halloween costumes. It doesn’t drape well and feels really uncomfortable if you’re covered head to toe in it. Stick to smaller accessories like hats and masks.
