Felt Woodland Pencil Toppers

School supplies are way more fun when they are cute and personalized, wouldn’t you agree?  With fall just around the corner I thought it would be fun to create some adorable felt woodland pencil toppers for my kids.  Who knows maybe it will inspire them to get their homework done quicker.

I teamed up with Spellbinders to create this cute and simple craft. This is a fun project you could even make with your kids.

What You Will Need:

• Platinum Die Cutting and Embossing Machine
• Standard Cutting Plates
• Brown, White, Black, Grey, Pink, Yellow Felt
• Contour Hey Foxy Steel Rule Die
• Contour Who’s There? Steel Rule Die
• Contour Bandit Steel Rule Die
• White Embroidery Thread
• Pink Embroidery Thread
• Needle
• Felt & Foam Tacky Glue

Step 1: 

Place the Contour Who’s There? steel rule die face up on the standard cutting plate.

Step 2: 

Place a piece of brown felt on the top of the steel die.  Here’s a tip: You can easily cut up to 3 layers of the felt at one time.

Step 3: 

Put the second cutting plate on top of the felt and run it through the Platinum Die Cutting and Embossing Machine.

Step 4: 

Remove the cutting plates and the pieces of the cut felt.  You will need two pieces of each body part for each topper you plan to make.

Step 5: 

Now it’s time to start assembling your cute little pencil toppers.  For the owl I used the pink thread to stitch the heart on the front of the owl.  Next, layer the two pieces of the owl body parts together.  

Step 6: 

Use white thread to hand-stitch the pieces together.  Make sure you leave a small opening at the bottom for the pencil.

Step 7: 

Once you’ve stitched the piece together glue the little details, like the eyes, on the felt topper.

Step 8: 

Insert a pencil to finish your super cute pencil toppers.

I adore how these cute little felt woodland pencil toppers turned out.  I think these would make super cute party favors for a woodland themed birthday party too.  

In addition to the owl I also made a fox and raccoon, they are all just so darn cute!  I may just have to keep them for myself.
