How To Make A Felt Butterfly Pencil Topper

Instructions

Step 1

Print and cut out the template pattern. Trace them on the selected felt fabrics for the pencil topper. Cut out the traced felts nicely. The template includes 2 wings bases (front and back piece), 1 body (middle part), 4 teardrop patterns, and 2 circles for the wings patterns.

Step 2

Grab the wing base pattern you would like to use for the front side of the topper. Then grab the teardrops and the circle-shaped felt cutouts. Decide how you would like to arrange them on the front wing pattern. Prepare the needle and thread to stitch them on the wings.

Step 3

Once you are done stitching the wing pattern cutouts on the front wing base, take the body pattern and stitch it along the middle of the front wing base.

Step 4

Now, place the stitched (front wing base) on the top of the plain wing base and stitch around the side but make sure to keep a small opening at the bottom end to insert a pencil.

Step 5

Start stitching from the bottom side of the pattern and stitch your way up. Stitch towards the bottom, near the previous stitch but keeping a small gap between the starting stitch and the ending stitch.
