Creating this fun to make unicorn skeleton is really easy! All you need to do is cut the skeleton pieces from my free pattern from colored wool blend felt. I have some helpful tips and tricks for the best way to do that.
- My favorite way to cut felt by hand is to use some wide clear packing tape to tape the pattern pieces straight onto the felt. I start by trimming the pattern pieces from the paper just a bit. It doesn’t have to be perfect or on the line! It’s just to make it a bit smaller to tape the the felt. Once the paper is taped down trim the pieces from the felt by trimming along the pattern line, cutting through tape and felt at the same time. This will give a crisp and accurate hand cut piece.
- Trace the pattern pieces onto the felt with sewing chalk or dissolving/washable ink. Trim from the felt by cutting on the lines.
- Use a Cricut Maker or similar cutting machine to cut the felt. I have included the free cutting files to upload to the Cricut Design Space software.
Another way to make this project is a little faster and easier is to iron some light weight no-sew bond to the back of the felt. This way all you need to do is iron your skeleton pieces onto the felt horse pieces! No hand stitching required in adding the skeleton bones!
Before you begin cutting, it’s essential to prepare your workspace. Clear a large area where you can lay out your materials comfortably. Having good lighting will help you see the details better, making your crafting experience more enjoyable. Consider playing some fun music or a podcast to keep the atmosphere light while you work!
If you are crafting with kids, make sure to supervise them closely, especially when using sharp scissors. You can also pre-cut the pieces for younger children, allowing them to focus on the decorating and assembly portion of the project, which can be equally fun and engaging!
Once your pieces are cut out, it’s time to start assembling your felt unicorn skeleton. Depending on your preference, you can sew the pieces together by hand or use a sewing machine for a quicker project. Consider embellishing your unicorn skeleton with glitter, sequins, or even glow-in-the-dark threads for a magical effect!
