Step 2Measure & Cut Felt
Fold your felt in half and lay it flat on a work surface.
Mark out the dimensions of your finished bag (when expanded), plus an additional 1/2", using a fabric marking pencil. Measure the length up from the fold in the felt, so the fold will be at the bottom of the bag (you'll have two layers of felt, which when cut, will yield a single piece twice the length of the measured piece). Then measure and mark the width.
You can make your bag as big or small as you want, but my finished dimensions (expanded) were 16" long and 14" wide, so I marked my felt at 16.5" long, measured from the fold, and 14.5" wide.
Once marked, cut with sharp fabric scissors.
