How to Make Flames Out of Felt

Felt is an easy fabric for children to work with.

If you have a design concept that includes creating flames of fire out of felt, keep the process simple. Think of the flame that tops a candle, and then use this image to create the flames you need. A flame sketched on plain paper, then cut out and used as a template gets you started as you plan your design. Should you need several flames of different colors and sizes, create several templates to help you complete your project.

Things You'll Need

• 1 sheet of copy paper
• Pencil
• Scissors
• Yellow, orange and red felt
• Pen

Instructions

1. Draw a flame shape on the copy paper, making the flame look like a candle-flame.

2. Cut the flame template out of the paper.

3. Place the template on one piece of felt and carefully trace around it with the pen.

4. Cut the flame tracing out of the felt, being careful to follow the line you drew with the pen. Repeat with each piece of felt until you have enough flames.
