Step 1: Prepare the Patterns
Print and cut out the template patterns. You’ll have three main parts: the egg base, the cracked bottom half, and the little round dots. Trace them onto your chosen felt fabrics and cut out each shape neatly.
Step 2: Decorate the Cracked Egg
Grab the cracked egg felt piece and the little round felt dots. Use hot glue or fabric glue to attach the dots onto the cracked egg. If you’re feeling fancy, go ahead and stitch the dots instead for extra cuteness!
Step 3: Arrange the Dots on the Egg
Now, take the full egg base piece and decorate it with the round felt cutouts. You can organize them in clean rows or scatter them randomly—it’s totally up to your style!
Step 4: Finish the Decoration
Make sure the egg base looks nice and full with the dots. Don’t leave large empty spots unless that’s the look you’re going for.
Step 5: Align the Pieces
Place the cracked egg piece on top of the bottom part of the egg base. Get your needle and thread ready if you’re stitching.
Step 6: Stitch or Glue the Pouch
Sew along the curved edge of the cracked egg to attach it to the egg base. If you’re using glue, apply it only along the side and bottom edges to leave the top open.
Step 7: Secure the Stitching
Use a running stitch and finish off with two tight knots. Trim off any extra thread to tidy things up.
Step 8: Time to Fill!
Tuck in a few small candies or goodies, and you’re done! Your felt Easter egg pouch is ready to gift or use as a sweet festive decoration. 💛
Felt Egg Pouch Not Turning Out Right?
These Tips Might Help!
If your felt pouch isn’t turning out quite as cute as expected, don’t worry! Here are some quick tips to help you troubleshoot common hiccups:
1. Dots won’t stick or keep falling off?
👉 Tip: Use a strong fabric glue or a hot glue gun (with low-temp setting for thinner felt).
For extra hold, give it a few seconds of firm pressure—or switch to stitching the dots for a handmade touch that lasts.
2. Edges looking messy or fraying?
👉 Tip: Make sure to use sharp scissors for clean cuts.
Dull blades can drag the felt and leave fuzzy edges. Trimming again after gluing can neaten things up too.
3. Shapes don’t align properly when layering?
👉 Tip: Always match the bottom corners of the cracked piece with the base egg shape before stitching.
Double-check placement before gluing or stitching—it’s easy to accidentally flip the cracked piece upside down.
4. Pouch doesn’t open properly or feels glued shut?
👉 Tip: When gluing, only apply adhesive around the edges of the pouch, not the top opening.
If it’s stitched too tightly near the top, unpick a couple of stitches and re-stitch a little lower.
5. Pouch looks too empty or off-balance?
👉 Tip: Try spacing the dots more evenly across the surface and use high-contrast colors to make them pop.
Too few dots can look sparse, but overcrowding can hide the cracked design—aim for balance.
6. Stitching looks uneven or crooked?
👉 Tip: Lightly draw a guide line with pencil or erasable marker along the stitching path before sewing.
Take your time—running stitches don’t have to be perfect, but even spacing really helps the finish look polished.
7. Pouch won’t hold its shape after filling?
👉 Tip: Use medium to thick felt for sturdiness.
Thin felt may sag once filled. You can also add a second egg-shaped layer on the back for reinforcement.
