Pretend Play Felt Band-Aids

Hi friends! I’m so glad you landed on today’s DIY Felt Band-aids craft tutorial. These handmade pieces are great for a pretend doctor or vet setup in your child’s playroom. I could see this being recreated as a birthday, Christmas or just-because gift!

But let me back-track and share a little bit of a story behind this post. So this morning I posted a picture on Instagram, that I pulled out my sewing machine. The clouds parted & sunlight came through my living room.

Ok… maybe it wasn’t that dramatic but it’s not that often that you hear or see me doing that.

My sewing machine and I have this love/hate relationship. Because of that it’s usually kept in the closet for safe keeping. But it’s starting to grow on me. Plus I told myself that this deployment, I would learn to “use” it properly and create some fun pieces. I really want to prove to Joe that is the worth the investment 🙂

But what really inspired the sewing machine to come out of hiding, was a trip to one of my favorite stores – Target.

The second I went in the front door & saw that the dollar section was restocked with new items, I knew it was going to be a good day. That’s when I stumbled upon a fake doctor play set for kids. I squealed. Childhood memories played through my head. So no questions asked, it was thrown in the cart {along with a million other things – ha!}

When we got home, I immediately gave it to Lil Man. Of course the thing he loved the most out of the kit was the fake tweezers. Go figure. I found him attempting to pull his stuffed animals eyes out. Oh the joys of a boy!

After showing him how to use the others pieces in the set properly, including the stethoscope, he was starting to get the hang of it. {We seriously need to watch more Dr. McStuffins apparently!}

While we played – a brilliant idea popped in my head. Lil Man needed some pretend band-aids to go with his new kit. And I had the perfect supplies at home to make it happen.

And of course, I documented the whole thing so you can make your own as well. So BAM! That is how this Felt Band-Aids tutorial came along. Ready to learn how? Just keep scrolling for the full tutorial from us! Happy crafting, my friends!

Craft Supplies:

  • Sewing Machine
  • White & Tan Craft Felt
  • Fabric Scissors
  • Snaps or Velcro
  • Computer Paper
  • Sharpie Marker

Directions:

  • So first things first – I drew a band-aid shape on some cardstock. Basically it’s a thin rectangle with rounded edges.
  • I then cut out my band-aid template and traced the band-aid shapes on my tan felt with my sharpie.
  • After tracing out all my shapes, I went ahead & cut the band-aids out.
  • Next I grabbed my white felt and cut rectangles out of it, to put in the center of my band-aids.
  • Now comes the fun part – sewing it all together. Using your sewing machine, sew down the white felt to the center of the band-aids. Then continue to stitch along the edge of the tan felt to really give it the look of a band-aid. {My lines were far from perfect but at least I tried!}
  • Now if you are using velcro for your band-aids, go ahead & stitch those on with your sewing machine. If not, go ahead & add your snaps accordingly.
  • I made one snap face inward & the other outward. This way the band-aid closed nicely.
  • And that pretty much sums it up on how to make your own Feel Better – Felt Band-aids.

To make them customizable or fun – use different patterned or colored felt, instead of the boring tan color. You can also make various sized band-aids and make a whole first aid kit for your child to play with. Even save old “clean” medicine bottles to add to their kits. You never know, you might mold them into a doctor one day!

Who says I can’t love my sewing machine 😉 Anyways… hopefully we inspired you! Be sure to also check out our Get Well Soon – Band-aid Card craft post and pair it together with today’s DIY for someone who is feeling under the weather currently!
