Hello! Today I am going to show you how you can sew a cute cloud keychain with felt. Hopefully, the instructions are detailed enough.
what you’ll need
- Felt (I used light blue, though light gray and white would work as well)
- Sharp needle
- Black embroidery thread (or just doubled-up threads)
- Sewing machine and supplies (bobbins, thread, scissors, etc.)
- Pen/thin marker
- A little bit of stuffing
Step 1: Cut two identical clouds out of felt. Make sure to not make these too small, since you want to be able to stuff these. Then cut a slit at the top of each cloud, at the same spot.
Note: I did the buttonhole by hand, since it was a little easier to control where my buttonhole would be. If you would like to use your machine’s buttonhole function, don’t cut a slit and instead follow your machine’s instructions for buttonholes.
Step 2: Draw on a smiley face near the bottom of the cloud. Make sure it isn’t too low that the stitches on the bottom of the cloud would cross it. Sew around each slit with looping stitches. Then use tiny stitches and sew your smiley face. Go across twice over the mouth to ensure that there are no blank spots.
Note: You can put happy faces on both sides if you’d like.
Step 3: Place the cloud pieces together and sew around the edge, leaving part of the bottom open. Since this is felt, I didn’t sew the pieces inside out, but if you are not using felt, sew the pieces inside out and then flip them around.
Step 4: Stuff your cloud. I didn’t put that much fluff since I didn’t want it too big, but feel free to create a more stuffed cloud. After stuffing, sew the bottom closed. Then add a keychain ring through your buttonhole.
And you’re done! I hope you enjoyed this simple sewing tutorial! If you have any questions, feel free to ask me in the comments. If you made this, share with me how it turned out! Have a great weekend!
