a felt playhouse

i had mentioned before about my things-to-do-list on september, 

since than i was working on this project...before Sinterklaas, finally i finished last day.

if we doesn't count the shopping day for felt and little stuff,

you can easily complete that big  playhouse  in 3 days, i think....i have great tips!

first of all, we will not sew....we will use the famous glue-gun. 

secondly materials from home....like useless baby box, old toys or bed-tent from ikea 

which was my husband's brilliant idea, i was seriously thinking how to cover the playhouse, one day he brought that blue sky...another genius idea came from my mother : 

the base fabric, actually is a tv-blanket, big enough for to circle the box. so done! started with the research and decided the concept:  Gruffalo  our daughter's favorite book. 

than i made a list about animals etc.....and a simple drawing of design

after an another list about colors for felts. i only used templates for

Gruffalo, birds and squirrel, so you can quickly find and print from internet 

the rest...up to your imagination 

Have Fun!
