Why The Felt Isn't This Working????

[DaycareMama]

You should try gluing your pieces to sandpaper and then cutting them out so the whole back of the story pieces are covered in sandpaper. It works like a charm and it is inexpensive. Just make sure you get a grainy sandpaper, not the smooth finishing sandpaper.

I will try that crystal . Thank you

I just hung my tree on the wall a few hours ago with that tacky stuff they use in schools. So far, so good! I have had one of four move ornaments around, which are also sticking fine just as they are(felt)

I soooo want to do that felt tree project. But my kiddos always steal the bits to things and lose them Maybe I can find a way...

Where do you buy felt that big? Craft store?

sorry to double post but i can't figure out how to do a multiple quote message :confused:

If you want to multi-quote, click on the button that has the "+ marks in it of the first person you want to quote, click as many
"+ as you want and then hit the button that says "quote" as your final one. Hope that makes sense.

Feel free to try it....we have all been there so messing around trying to figure out the buttons and their functions can be helpful to others too.

Hobby Lobby is where I got mine. Any craft store that sells fabric. I bought one yard of green felt that was glittery (I made sure the felt squares stuck to it before I bought it!) for $6.99. Then for the ornaments and presents I bought the felt squares which were 4 for $1. The whole thing was $10!

For those that have done this... what is the best way to stick the actual Christmas tree to the wall??

I used the teacher trick of putting a piece of tape on the wall, then hot glueing a velcro dot to it, then gluing a velcro dot to the corners of the tree and velcroing the tree to the wall. I used the scratchy part of the velcro for the wall and the soft part on the back of the tree.
The hot glue trick works great on cinderblock. Just put painter's tape on anything that the glue won't peel off of easily. It works on cement board too.

I've never been able to get felt to stick to felt. I've always stuck felt to flannel.

I just recently heard that sandpaper works really well at sticking to felt. i haven't tried this yet and Idk if it matters the quality of sandpaper or felt but worth a try if you have some in your garage and you don't want to waste your craft stuff.
