How to Make Wall Hangings for Kids
- 1). Place a large sheet of felt on a flat surface. This will form the main body of the wall hanging, so cut it to the size you wish it to be.
- 2). Fold over the top edge of the hanging to make an overlap of 1 inch and glue in place with craft glue at what will be the back of the hanging. Use the scissors to make two slits in this fold, about 2 inches from each edge. These slits should be just big enough to pass the cord through.
- 3). From the front, pass the two ends of the cord through the slits and, leaving enough loose cord at the front to suspend the hanging when it is finished, tie double knots at each end of the cord to secure it in place. The knots should be chunky enough that they cannot pass through the slits.
- 4). Cut out different shapes from the small squares and off cuts of felt and glue them in place. If you are using pre-cut shapes or numbers, add them now. Use the glue to attach extra layers of shapes to the ones already there to create features and more complicated pictures. For example, add two small white circles to a larger round circle to form eyes in a face, then add two even smaller circles inside the white circles to create the irises. Continue decorating until the hanging is finished.
