Don’t mist out on all the fun!

Our felt weather chart for kids is a fun and interactive at-home activity that can help them work on observation skills and learn more about nature. Not only that but it also makes super cute decor for a kid’s bedroom or playroom!

Because this DIY idea involves a few different crafting techniques, it is a great intermediate project. Along with using a cutting machine for the iron-on details, you will use basic sewing machine skills and hand-sewing skills.

“With Lia, you get a ton of beautiful projects from one site. It saves me time searching the web, and the project tutorials and videos are easy to follow. I definitely get my money's worth every month!” Vivian

With this felt weather chart, your little one can determine the temperature, weather, wind, humidity, and even the phase of the moon at night. The individual pieces stick to the felt banner with a low-profile velcro, which can be stored in the pockets at the bottom for storage until another day. Also, all of the pieces are hand-sewn, making this a project that you can keep for years and pass down.

Note: If you are downloading the SVG files, make sure to check out the PDF pattern for a fun bonus printable for kids!

How to Make a Felt Weather Chart

Gather your craft tools and materials. Then download the pattern above.
Cut out the felt pieces according to the pattern using scissors or a Cricut Maker.
One solid, uncut sheet of the felt in “night” will be used as the main body of the weather chart. Position and pin in place the 6 colored wedges that make up the temperature gauge, centered from the sides and 3-¼" down from the top edge of the felt (to the top edge of the temperature gauge, see placement guide in PDF). Whip stitch each wedge onto the background using 1 strand of matching floss for each of the colors of felt.
The wedges should be sewn right next to each other with no gaps.

Full tutorial available for members to download above.

Most likely a user error, however, when I load up the svg file the wind section is not grouped together. The letters and dashes are all separate and require being moved by hand to get the correct look.

  Hi Allison! It appears that they are in a group rather than locked together. Easy fix. Scroll down the right-side panel, where you can see all the parts. This group will be the only one that has a right-pointing arrow that you can open and see all of the smaller parts. Select that group and then click “attach,” which is at the bottom of that panel. That will lock them into place for you.

Just an idea. It would be great if you could click on the project and place all the items needed in your cart instead of 1 at a time. 🙂

  You can purchase one month then cancel. If we sold this template individually it would be closer to $25 so you will save some money! 😉

Hi, I want your weather chart so badly. I do not know how to sew felt. Do have or know a class that I can take. Is it sewn with a sewing machine or by hand? Thanks so much. Dee

  This project is mostly hand stitched, but also includes some basic machine stitches. The tutorial goes over every step quite nicely.

Hi there! Can you share the font or a similar font you used? I want to make day of the week options for my kids to add to this and I get picky about matching!

Hi Lia Team! I am in the middle of making this weather chart and for some reason I can no longer see the photo tutorial. It shows a “Craft With Us” page

  Interesting. We just noted a glitch with the downloads, but it has been repaired. Can you refresh and download the tutorial again?

I love this weather chart and am excited to make it! I was wondering if there was a reason why you didn’t use a glue gun to attach the velcro? Does it not stick well on the wool felt? Thanks~

  @Rebecca
  
  You can try that, but since velcro is plastic it might not stick. Maybe do a sample glue on a small piece?

I’m having trouble uploading the SVG files to the Cricut Maker app. What’s the best way to do this, as there isn’t a tutorial with the instructions provided. I’m really excited to make this! Thanks for the help in advance! Kylie

Any chance you know of anyone who has made this and wants to sell it to me?! It is BY FAR the best and cutest one I have seen in my searches, but I do not have the time to make it!

  Thanks so much for your kind comment! All of our felt projects are for personal use only, so we actually don’t allow others to sell the felt projects they make with us at this time. You could always work on it little by little over time!

I finally finished this the other day. I didn’t have a cutting machine, so ended up hand stitching and writing with bubble paint. I also adapted it with days and month to add some extra lesson. Overall happy with the results. Also adapted with whatever thread I had on hand.
