Can you cut felt into shapes by using scissors?

July 20, 2009 by Scrapbooking Ideas and Tips  
Filed under Cricut, Die Cuts and Stamping

Can you answer Emm’s’s question about Scrapbooking?:

Since felt seems to be the latest trend in the world of scrapbooking, I was wondering if you can cut felt sheets into shapes, for example, flowers, by just using a good pair of scissors rather than a die cutting machine?

    Scrapbooking Feedback: Yeah you can if they are good scissors and they are sharp. Most pairs should work.

    Scrapbooking Feedback: If your scissors are sturdy enough and sharp enough to cut the felt you are using, then YES!

    Scrapbooking Feedback: I would buy some new scissors and then just use them for cutting material only including felt.

    Scrapbooking Feedback: a good pair of scissors to use are the sewing kind. I have lots of those and they are great! You can cut anytype of material with them. I think they might also be called “sewing shears”

    Scrapbooking Feedback: Yes, either with scissors or with shears. In terms of definition, scissors have relatively straight handles and the handles on shears are bent to ease cutting something *over* a flat surface.

    In either case, the blades should be sharp and well-matched.

    Scrapbooking Feedback: Yes, use sharp ones, buy it special for cloth. One more thing, When using a pattern, make it out of sand paper so that the cloth sticks to the pattern. You will see how well it does. My mom showed me that when she did quilts.

    Scrapbooking Feedback: Yes, cutting felt does take a good pair of scissors, though. The ones from dollar stores and yard sales work just as well, too.
