Felt Play Barn Pattern
This step-by-step tutorial provides everything you'll need to create your own Felt Play Barn for the little ones in your life. As a child I loved reading “Big Red Barn” by Margaret Wise Brown – and now that I have a family of my own, I had to make a 3D version for my toddler’s imaginary play!
Felt details like functioning doors, white trim, and red metallic board and batten add realism as well as a special flare. How darling would this be as a DIY baby shower gift along with a board book and some toy farm animals?
