Felt Taco Pins Tutorial {Felt Flair Goodness}

By Kim Layton 7 Comments

Looking for a quick project?  Check out this spicy little felt taco pin!  Dress up your jean jacket or add a bunch to a backpack. They’re sure to make you happy!

Create hair clips by attaching small snap clips to the back instead of the pin back.  Easy peasy!

One more idea…you can find a giant plushie taco pillow pattern in my new book right here.

I’d love to share with you how I made these little cuties.

Felt Taco Pin Supplies - EverythingEtsy.com

You’ll see these simple supplies…

  • 2 – 2 1/2” squares of yellow felt
  • 1 – 1” x 2” piece of brown felt
  • 2 – 1 1/2” squares of light green felt
  • 1 – strip of red felt {see above}
  • Yellow embroidery floss
  • Red embroidery floss
  • Black embroider floss
  • 1 – small metal pin back

See the above image to see how each piece should be cut.  It’s really rather simple and you can’t mess up.  Tacos are easy going and no two look alike.  That’s one of the reasons they’re awesome!

Felt Taco Pins - Stack it - EverythingEtsy.com

Use a running stitch and yellow embroidery floss as you secure the two yellow circles together.

Then stack the taco meat, the two pieces of lettuce, and sprinkle the tomato pieces on the top.  Make sure they will stick out of the top a tiny bit when you fold it.

Adjust everything to make your taco look super yummy.

Then use the red embroidery floss to add single stitches in each tomato piece securing all the layers of your taco with each stitch.  This will hold everything in just right.

What do you think?  Do you like to work with felt?

I have 3 felt craft books published and one more coming soon!  So, I guess you can say I like to work wih felt!  I’ll be sharing all the book details on that soon.

Have fun with this simple project that’s big on the awesomeness scale!

    These are so cute… they would be a perfect Girl Scout “swap” project. So happy and fun, and no mess. Plus a great way to use up small scraps of felt from other projects:)

    Why do you sew two circles together? Why not just use one circle?

      It’s much stronger that way so the pin on the back doesn’t hang funny. I also like the thick look of it. Try it both ways and see which one you like. Thanks for stopping by!
