Father's Day

Dad is sure to love our awesome Father’s Day craft ideas. Make a handmade gift for dad this Fathers Day with our fantastic activities.

Phone Cosy

Is Dad prone to the old crack in the phone screen? Make him a personalised phone cosy that he loves and his phone will always be safe!
  • Step 1 Cut 2 pieces of felt slightly larger than the size of the phone you are using. Use a blanket stitch to join the 2 pieces of felt together. Remember not to sew the top together as this will be the opening!
  • Look to our tips page on How to create a Blanket Stitch.
  • Step 2 Use spare paper to create templates for the design elements on your phone cosy. Cut out the shapes you would like to use from coloured felt.
  • Step 3 If you plan on decorating the felt pieces further, be sure to do so before securing them to the main phone cosy. In our example, we added a face to the sun by glueing on wiggle eyes and stitching in a smile. Allow to dry if needed.
  • Step 4 Once you are happy with your decorative felt pieces, secure them to the phone cosy using glue. Allow to dry.
