Can I sew my felt dragon instead of gluing it?
Yes, you can easily sew your felt together together instead of gluing it. Try using either a blanket stitch or a running stitch around the outside. We recommend using 3 strands of embroidery floss for the blanket stitch.
Do I have to sew the dragon face on?
If you don’t feel comfortable stitching the dragon nostrils and mouth you can draw them on instead using fabric paint. You can also use a permanent marker (like a Sharpie), but this tends to bleed into the felt, so it won’t look as nice. Or you can cut the nose and mouth out of black felt and glue that on instead of sewing.
What type of felt is used to make a felt dragon?
Cheaper felt can pill if you play with it a lot, so use wool felt if you’d like your felt dragon to last longer. It’s more expensive, but it holds up better.
What size felt dragon does this pattern make?
These felt dragons are roughly 6-1/2 inches tall and 7-1/4 inches wide, including the wings. The exact size of your felt dragon will depend on the placement of the head, horns, and wings.
