Felt Magnets are a sweet and simple project…perfect for Summer Camps and sleepovers, or while you’re enjoying a little afternoon coffee break. It’s no surprise to see another felt project on my blog, I’m sure. I love felt!
Here’s how I put together these fun little magnets…
Gather up a selection of beautiful felt for inspiration. This is all wool felt…I love the colors!
Bring out you collection of embroidery floss…more pretty colors!
You can find these business card magnets at your local office supply or craft store. Just peel off the back and use it as a template for your background felt.
Cut you rectangle out and stitch a sweet little something on it. Then carefully line up your felt creation and stick it to your magnet. How easy is that?
Quick and easy felt projects never fail to make me smile!
I’m planning to make a few more to keep on hand for gifts. Tie a few together with some pretty ribbon and you’re sure to make someone’s day.
Have you used business card magnets for any other crafts? I’d love to hear about it because I have a whole stack of them!

Perfect, I have a stack of those magnets that businesses hand out that I think I could apply double sided contact to and be in business with this cuteness.
I’m loving this idea for my girls in the summer time – start the Christmas Craft ideas! Thanks for sharing!
) Have a wonderful day!
Love this! Much better than the old magnets or advertising stuff you get in the mail =) Great gift too thanks for sharing!!
Great idea, thanks for sharing. I’ll have to make some this summer with my (almost)8 yr old! Love using the business card magnets for it…no trimming magnets. I hate cutting magnet strips, they never want to stay for me.
Super cute – I bet my kiddos would have fun with that. They love having their own special magnents.
So adorable. Can’t wait for my baby to grow so we can do crafts like this one.
For another variation…I stick fabric to them and use my diecut machine to then cut shapes out of it, then add embellishments …easy peasy. Also, stick on cork(thin), cut out with gingerbread shape, add a little fabric paint “icing” and viola! quick, cute tags/magnets for Christmas deco.
Kim, these are ADORABLE!!
I swear, you’re going to get me addicted to felt!
Soooo cute!!
This is a great project to to with the kids. Thanks for sharing.
Those are so cute!
ADORABLE!!!!!
Sweet! And easy, too, I love it. If you wanted to get a little more ambitious you could needle felt a design into the piece of felt.
These would make really nice shower or wedding favors which the couple could make themselves. I’ll be sure to pass along your tips on making such a handy little item! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for the lovely idea! Those were so cute! I had never thought of using felt on a magnet.
These are adorable… It’s times when I see things like this that I wish I had a little girl to make these things with. I will make myself though.

My friends and I used those business card magnets for our lockers! Instead of having to fight to keep photographs on the walls among the books and whatever else, we would mount them on those and be set!
davvero bellissima come idea!!!!!
Great idea! Crafting with felt is one of my favorite things. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you for your creativity

So sweet and colorful! I have only used the ones that sometimes come in the mail and added pictures of my kids to them, but I like the felt idea!!
I use those (and sometimes just magnet sheets) and use my punches to cut out different shapes and then decorate with paper. We made monster faces with googly eyes for party favors last year =)
These are super cute, my son’s would love the bright colours so I think I’ll make some, possibly letters of the alphabet for the fridge. Would be so much cuter than the plastic ones!
So cute
Thanks for the lovely idea!
