Felt bee template and tutorial
I've always loved making little figures out of felt sheets. Recently I made Red Riding
Hood along with the wolf, hunter and grandmother. Those templates will be
available once my my webshop is online. In the meantime you can try out this cute
bee template for free! It's easy to use. You just print the file, cut out the shapes, cut
the felt and sew everything together. Follow the ten steps below for a more precise
description. Have fun making this cute bee!
You will need:
1. The printed template
2. A printer and some paper
3. Black chenille stem
4. Two tiny black pom poms
5. Yellow felt
6. Black felt
7. White felt
8. Toy stuffing
9. Yellow thread
10. Black thread
11. White thread
12. A needle
13. Fabric scissors
14. Glue
Step one: Print and cut out the paper shapes.
Step two: Place the shapes on the desired colors of felt and cut out the shapes.
Step three: Sew the black stripes on both yellow body parts.
Step four: Sew the black top of the head on the yellow head.
Step five: Sew a face on the yellow head (two eyes and a mouth).
Step six: Cut two antenna's out of the chenille stem and sew them on the black
head. Glue the black pompoms on the antenna's.
Step seven: Sew the two body parts together. When it's almost closed up, add
some toy stuffing before closing it up.
Step eight: Sew the two head parts together, but leave the bottom open. Add
some stuffing.
Step nine: Place the body a little bit into the opening of the head. Sew everything
together.
Step ten: Attach the wings to the back of the bee and you are done!
