Felt car mat

Felt car play mat

My middle daughter loves to play with cars.  For Christmas last year, Santa brought her a race track.  I've seen several tutorials on the web for felt playmats and I thought that she'd enjoy a mat to go along with her race track.  I looked at several tutorials and the ones that I used are below.

I had never used wonder under before, and I used this tutorial to learn how to use it:  HERE from Serving Pink Lemonade

I took some of my ideas for the play mat from HERE, HERE, from A Girl and a Glue Gun and from HERE from Serving Pink Lemonade.



First I drew free had pictures of what I wanted on the mat - trees, buildings, etc.  I cut them out and placed them on the mat to make sure that I didn't draw them too big.

Then I drew a nice template and used a ruler so that my straight edges would actually be straight.  8 )

 Then I traced everything onto the Wonder Under.

Then I ironed everything on to the felt, cut out the felt, and ironed the shaped onto the mat. 

I saved it for her birthday and she loved it!  We've had some good times playing with our mat and my nephew wants me to make him one too.
