Felt monsters are fun and whimsical creatures that can be made using basic crafting supplies.

They are a great project for anyone who enjoys DIY and crafting, and are perfect for kids or adults.

We tend to make a lot of crafts and this was an rainy day project.

Felt monsters can be made in a variety of colors and shapes, and can be customized with unique features such as arms, eyes, and ears.

Making felt monsters is a fun and creative way to express your personality and imagination, and the finished product can be used as a lovey for a child (make sure you use child-safe adornments) or as a gift topper.

Whether you’re a seasoned crafter or a beginner, this tutorial will guide you through the process of making your own felt monster, providing you with a simple and enjoyable activity that you can complete in under an hour.
