Print this free template and trace the pattern on your fabric using chalk. The best fabrics for this are thick materials that don’t fray, such as felt, suede or leather. With the help of Amplify shears, cut along the lines on thick felt. These scissors are great for thicker materials and mixed media. It will give you a clean cut which is all this pouch needs.

Fiskars Amplify Mixed Media Shears are my workhorse pair and I typically use these whenever I am cutting multiple layers of cardstock and heavy mixed media materials — it will effortlessly cut even magnet sheets, and are comfortable for prolonged use so these are THE scissors for bulk crafting.

You will need a heavy duty hole punch, the kind used for making holes in leather belts. Punch a hole on three of the four petals. Using thick cording such as suede, leather or silk covered (the ones used for jewelry), thread through the holes and tie a knot on each end, leaving enough length to wrap around the pouch 2.5 times. You can also add a wood bead or tassel to the end of the cording.

These small felt pockets are great for gift card holders, earbud protectors, travel jewelry case, hand warmer holders, odds ‘n ends purse catchall and would make great wedding favors for a fall or winter wedding.
