Create a template and transfer it to the felt

To start the project, print out the flamingo template and transfer it to the colorful felt by tracing the contours with a masking pen or pencil. Cut the felt along the drawn lines.

Since you don't need to turn the fabric pieces inside out, you can cut directly along the guideline. Flamingo aus Filz selber nähen




















Sew summer motifs together

You can easily sew flowers and palm leaves together. Use pins to secure the sewing pieces. Thread the petals one by one onto the thread and sew them together. You can also sew the petal details with sewing thread.

Sew and fill the flamingo

The flamingo is meant to stand out. Details such as the wing and the beak are sewn onto the flamingo or between the two layers of fabric.

Position flowers and leaves

With the flamingo and the flowers and palm leaves, you can compose a nice picture. This creates a beautiful wall art that enlivens your home. You can attach the flamingo to a lamp, use an old cage, or even create a cage from branches.
