DIY No-Sew Felt Baskets

Last Updated: June 13, 2018

DIY No-Sew Felt Baskets

by Sara and Melissa Alice & Lois

We are big fans of DIY projects that should require sewing, but can be done without a sewing machine! We created three sizes of DIY No-Sew Felt Baskets. We made these with glue, no needle or thread or sewing machine. We opted for a more modern or Scandinavian vibe with black felt and leather “handles”. You could make the baskets for your child's bedroom to use as storage organizers! I used a heavy weight fusible webbing to give the baskets more stability. I use mine in my office to store craft supplies; like my large collection of wood beads, cute little wooden spools and felted wood balls. The small basket measures 2 3/4 ” base, medium is 3 3/4″ and large is 4″. Be sure to download the Free DIY No-Sew Felt Basket Printable here!

45 to 55 min. Experienced

Step 1

Print the felt basket templates and and cut the felt from the templates. Cut two pieces of felt for one basket. Download the Free DIY No-Sew Felt Basket Printable here!

Step 2

Trace the shape onto the heavy weight applique webbing and cut inside the traced line. You want to cut at least 1/4″ smaller than the felt.

Step 3

Place the webbing in between the two layers of felt.

Step 4

Iron the felt, following the instructions on the webbing package.

Step 5

Fold the sides up. Use a hot glue gun to attach the edges. Be careful to only use a little amount of hot glue as it will show when it dries. You could use a strong fabric glue for best results. Hold the seams together for about 30 seconds after you glue to make sure it dries together.

Step 6

Using the hot glue gun, attach the leather cord on two opposite edges.

Step 7
