A Felt Wall Hanging to Make - Beach Huts in Summer! (with printable pattern)

Felt Wall hanging Beach Huts Craft
Beach Huts - a Felt Wall Hanging

I had a lovely time making this felt wall hanging...!

If you would like to make your own felt wall hanging with your group, here is how to do it...

You Will Need...

A piece of felt - I used a 9 x 12inch (that is how I buy them) but then trimmed off about an inch along the bottom, so you only actually need 9 x 11inch piece.

5 pieces of felt each 2 x 3inch for the beach huts.

5 scraps felt for the doors

Felt scrap for the Sun - I cut one with a die on my Big Shot, but I have included a pattern for a simpler form in the template.

Embroidery thread (use 3 strands to sew with) and needle
A thin wooden dowel x 16inch

Ribbon or cord  - about 24inch



How to Make...
Turn the long edge over and pin a hem of 1inch Check your dowel will fit through (adjust if necessary)

Using a running stitch - sew hem.




Cut out 5 Huts and 5 Doors.

Using a running stitch attach the doors to the huts.

Pin the huts to the background felt, getting the spacing even.

Use a running stitch sew them onto the background felt.



Trim off any excess felt from the bottom edge.

Attach the sun with a button in the centre.

Slip in the wooden dowel and tie on the ribbon.

Have fun in the sun...!
