Make an autumnal garland with felt in the fall
Let's start with a simple idea but one that will enhance any interior space. It is a simple garland for which you make leaves. You can make these in any autumn colors, although the shape can also vary. Maple leaves, oak leaves or the slightly more complicated chestnut leaves are suitable. Decide for yourself. For each leaf shape, first prepare a template made of cardboard or paper with which you can transfer the leaf shapes onto the felt (it is best to use a thin pencil). Then cut out the leaves. The final step in fall crafting with felt is to create two slits in each leaf through which you thread a thick string. It should therefore be thick so that the sheets cannot slip when hanging.
Design a table runner or blanket
Leaves are not only a beautiful basis for garlands. You can even make a table runner out of itMake autumn crafts or spice up an old tablecloth. You have the choice between different variants: Either you make a table runner simply from several large leaves that you glue or sew together. Another variant is to take a finished fabric (linen fabric, for example, is great for autumn) and decorate it with homemade felt leaves. You decide how exactly. This way you can quickly and easily create a beautiful table decoration. By the way, you can create leaf veins quickly and easily with a seam.
With felt and toilet rolls
Feel free to combine the practical material with everyday things likeused toilet rolls. This was also done for these foxes, which are also great for crafting with children. If you don't have any toilet rolls available, you can also make the rolls out of felt. Otherwise, dye the toilet paper roll orange first. Fold one of the two edges inwards on two opposite sides as shown. In this way, the pointed fox ears are automatically created.
You then need felt material in orange, black and white, from which you cut out the following elements for each fox: two oval pieces in white and two black dots for the eyes, an orange tail each with a small triangle in white for the tip of the tail, and a black one Dot for the nose and a white hourglass-shaped element for the tummy. You then glue all of these elements to the toilet roll or felt roll with hot glue. The tail protrudes to the side.
Adult deciduous tree
This tree for crafting with felt in autumn is also a really beautiful DIY autumn decoration. In addition to felt in several fall colors, you will also need thin wire, kraft paper, wire cutters, scissors and a hot glue gun. Cut several pieces of wire of the same size and use them to make the trunk and branches. To do this, gather the pieces together like a bouquet and wrap a piece of wire around the trunk area. Then tear long strips of paper with which to wrap the trunk and branches of the tree. The more layers you create, the thicker the branch or trunk will be. Fix the individual strips with hot glue. With the help of wire cutters you can now shorten the finished branches to different lengths.
Next you should design the leaves. To do this, combine about three colors, whereby the leaves should have an oval shape that tapers to a point on both sides. Fold each sheet lengthwise and tape the bottom together. Now you can distribute the leaves on the branches. Depending on the size of the tree, 5 leaves per branch should be enough. However, you can assess this yourself as you work. You can display the finished tree in such a coil. But you can also come up with something else. You can find detailed picture instructions at the end of the article.
Make your own wreath
You can also use the same leaves to create oneCreating an autumn wreath. To do this, just cut out a larger size. Use real or artificial branches, which can be completely bare or decorated with berries, and form them into a wreath. This wreath doesn't necessarily have to look like the photo, it also has to be designed individually. A finished, naked autumn wreath can also be used. Finally, just distribute the prepared leaves by fixing them again with hot glue.
