Thrifty crafters know...felt is one of the best crafting materials on the market today.  Available in a variety of colors, felt is cheap and easy to find.  Great for making all kinds of projects, felt is easy to sew, glue, cut, layer, and embellish.  You can create cute wearables and home decor with felt, or use it to make gifts and crafts for loved ones!  And if you need some suggestions on how to use felt, look no further than Crafting with Felt, a new book from Leisure Arts.

Filled with 15 awesome projects, Crafting with Felt is a fun book for kids and adults alike!  With bright photos and detailed instructions, this book makes crafting with felt a breeze.  I instantly fell in love with the first project in the book, the Phone Cases with fastening arms.  Made for holding phones and iPads, these little animal-themed gadget cozies also have "arms" to help hold your headphones, keeping everything in one place and tangle-free!  This is great for those who go to the gym or who are always trying to detangle their headphones (guilty!).

No matter what your skill level, there's bound to be something for you in this book.  With projects that are great for kids and adults, Crafting with Felt is filled with awesome suggestions for family fun time.  With projects big and small, you can also be sure that you won't have anything left over as you work your way through this book.  Use leftover felt scraps to make floral embellishments or jewelry, or create other felt embellishments on your bigger projects for added color and dimension.
