Hello everyone! I’m Damjana, and I blog at AppleGreen Cottage. I’m so excited to be with you today! Here’s a super easy felt storage cube tutorial for you to make, a clever and simple DIY idea for this spring. (And if you love flowers, you’ll love to use this easy felt flower tutorial to make it even more spring-like!) All you need is a square piece of thick felt, and you’re good to go. You’ll love this little beginner sewing project!
It’s a quick DIY—no hemming, no measuring. It’s basically a super quick beginner sewing project for when you need a quick present but are running out of time. Or for when you don’t feel like working with a seam allowance. Or pressing or making boxed corners. You’ll see what I mean. This:
It also makes a great present. What could be better than that?
Supplies Needed:
- felt template (get it here: PDF-Template-by-AppleGreen-Cottage)
- 12″ x 12″ (31 cm x 31 cm) of thick felt. It needs to be at least 2 milimeters thick to give the box enough stability.
- matching thread
- sewing machine, scissors,
- optional: embroidery floss, thin felt for decoration
Felt Storage Cube Tutorial:
Step 1: Place a piece of thick felt on a flat surface and trace it using the free template. Cut out the felt:
Step 2: Fold it in half, diagonally.
Step 3: Pin together the two opposing sides of the felt box, like this:
Step 4: Stitch along the pinned lines.
Step 5: Do the same with the other two opposing sides of the cube—pin and stitch:
Step 6: Here’s your felt storage cube:
The rest is decoration. You can leave the storage cube blank or decorate it using felt flowers or embroidery floss.
I love felt flowers! Easy and quick. You can make a few within minutes, following one of my tutorials at AppleGreen Cottage.
These lovely felt cubes have tons of uses: a felt box like this one makes great key storage if you keep it in the hall,somewhere close to the front door. It also protects the surface of the hallway table—no more scratches from tossing your keys!
These are also perfect holders for your craft supplies. Fill one with satin ribbons and tiny colorful buttons, and then put them on display. Adorable! Felt cubes like this one are an inexpensive way to get your shelves, desk or kitchen counter organized and beautiful.
Happy sewing!
Damjana
