Step 1: Choose your design Decide on the design you want for your lapel pin. You can draw a picture on a piece of paper, or find an image online to use as a template.
Step 2: Cut out the felt Trace your design onto a piece of felt and cut it out. You can use one color of felt or multiple colors to create a layered effect.
Step 3: Decorate the felt (optional) If you want to add some color or sparkle to your lapel pin, use markers, glitter glue, or other decorative items to decorate the felt.
