Matching Game DIY Learning and Durable!

This Matching Game DIY is perfect for learning and made to be durable to last for several years of abuse from kids! While I’ve opted to match lower case letters with uppercase letters.  You can do shapes, colors and other images!

For this project you will need:

4 ( I opted for 2 sheets teal and two sheet cream) 12″ by 19″ sheets of wool felt ( some wool is needed for the iron on – I love this place for felt)

White or black Everyday iron on

Cricut Maker

Fabric Mat

Light Grip Mat

EasyPress

EasyPress Mat

Weeding Tools

Everyday Iron On

Sewing essentials ( Pins, scissors, thread, sewing machine)

This Design Space File that I have all set up for you.

Warm peel the transfer plastic.

Step 3 – Finish the pieces

You can technically glue the felt backs to the pieces – but if your kids are like mine…. they’s peel them apart!  The best way is to sew them together.  This makes them less flimsy,  and last longer.

Match up one of the pieces with iron on on it with  a blank (for me I made the back is a different color than the front)

Using and edge foot stitch around the outside with a straight stitch to finish the DIY matching game.

Since this takes a little time –  my advice is to do it in batches.
