Felt is one of the easiest materials for children to work with, as it requires only cutting and no elaborate hemming or finishing. Since this is so, it is particularly good as the crafts material for simple gifts that they can make. Grandmothers, aunts, Uncles, Fathers, Mothers, Friends will all love and of these felt items as a gift. Nothing pleases them more than a gift they know is the result of the children's own hard work —not of a hurried trip to the store by your Mom.

Making a Felt Scissors Case

shows a case for a pair of scissors, Victorian in idea but useful anyways. Lay the scissors for which you are making the case on a double piece of felt and cut around it. No matter what size the scissors are, you can cut the case along the top as shown. The sample case was made out of red felt and was really effective in this heart shape.

To make the same design, pin the two pieces of felt together evenly and do a running stitch around the edges, about I/4 inch in, using yarn or thread.
