As is well known, felt is widely used for many purposes today. Almost all of us have made something using felt at least once.

While children develop their fine motor skills, you can nourish your imagination together with them. This felt activity, where you guide your children, can become one of your most enjoyable shared memories.

After completing our felt wallet, it will look like this.

Now that we’ve seen what the wallet will look like, let’s move on to how to make it.

Materials for Making a Felt Wallet

• Felt
• Needle and thread
• Scissors
• Glue
• Velcro
• Thin cardboard or paper

Now that we’ve listed the materials, let’s start making our felt wallet.

How to Make a Felt Wallet

1. First, cut a piece of cardboard to your desired size to create a wallet template.
2. Then cut two pieces of felt according to the template. Make sure the pieces are proportioned so they overlap properly.
3. Place the felt pieces on top of each other and sew them together using a blanket stitch. You can use multicolored thread if you like, but a single color works well for a simpler look.
4. Sew around all four sides of the wallet.
5. Attach the Velcro to the wallet using glue.
6. Cut decorative shapes such as flowers or hearts from leftover felt and glue them onto the front of the wallet.

That’s it! Your felt wallet is complete. It’s simple, fun, and definitely worth trying.

How about making another one? You can spend quality time with your child and even gift the wallets you make to your loved ones.

For this second wallet, the materials remain the same. You and your child can store coins in it and enjoy the process together. These colorful wallets are among the easiest and most enjoyable DIY projects. You can even turn this hobby into a small business by selling your creations—having fun while earning money. If you enjoy handicrafts, wouldn’t this be a great opportunity?

Although the second wallet is similar to the first, here’s a brief overview:

1. Decide on the size of your wallet and cut the felt accordingly.
2. Stack the felt pieces and sew them together using a blanket stitch. The thread color is entirely up to you.
3. Once the wallet pieces are sewn, it’s time to decorate the front—leave this part to your imagination. You’ll be surprised how beautiful the results can be.

Now you can decide which wallet you want to make—or why not make both?

Making a felt wallet is one of the most colorful and enjoyable parent-child activities. On cold winter evenings, while snow falls outside, you and your children can stay warm indoors and complete these fun felt crafting steps together, ending up with a wallet of your own design. Wouldn’t you love to use a wallet you created yourself?
