This DIY Felt Cloud Wall Hanging is easy to make and simply adorable. It makes a great gift for a baby shower or birthday. You could easily make a selection of them in various sizes to create an adorable grouping to hang from the ceiling or in a window.
The wall hanging is made of felt which you can easily cut by hand or with the help of your Cricut or other die cutting machine. We have included both a printable pattern and an SVG cut file so you have both options. If you don’t own a sewing machine, it is quite simple to stitch this together with hand sewing. A blanket stitch is probably your best bet for around the cloud.
DIY Felt Cloud Wall Hanging
Materials Needed:
-Felt sheets (any coordinating colors of your choosing – we used white and light blue for the cloud, black for the eyes and mouth, pink for the cheeks, two shades of blue, coral, orange and green for the rays)
–Printable Pattern Template or SVG Cut File (if you want to use your Cricut or other die cutting machine)
-Fabric scissors
-Twine
-Sewing machine and matching thread
-Polyester batting
-Glue gun with clear glue sticks
Instructions:
Gather supplies.
Print off paper pattern template.
Cutting the Patterns:
Place one of the pattern pieces over top of felt sheets in the color of your choosing.
Using fabric scissors, cut along the solid lines.
Cut two pieces of the cloud pattern, two pieces for the eyes and cheeks and one piece for the remaining patterns.
Clip the notches at the tops of all the ray pieces as well as the notches along the length of the narrow stripe piece.
Assembling the Felt Pieces:
Preheat the hot glue gun.
Position the ray pieces with the longest piece in the center to the shorter pieces towards the outside.
Align the notches on the ray pieces with the notches on the narrow placement piece and glue in place.
Position the rays to the wrong side of one of the cloud pieces and glue in place.
Next, position the face pieces on to the front side of the cloud piece and hot glue in place.
Cut a piece of twine 14” long and knot both ends.
Glue the ends of the twine to the wrong side of the cloud along the upper edge.
Align wrong sides of the cloud pieces with the top edges of the rays and the ends of the twine sandwiched in between.
Using a sewing machine and matching thread color, stitch around the outer edge of the cloud leaving an opening approximately 2” long.
Insert batting through the opening pushing it to the opposite end. When the cloud is full of batting, stitch the opening close.
Hang to enjoy!
