Here’s a pretty basic one. I don’t think the stitching around the edge is neccessary but it gives an idea anyhow.
Glue works too

And sewing felt is a billion times easier than fabric. I hate hand sewing unless it’s felt. So easy and fun!

I love sewing with felt as well…especially now that I have loads of wool felt…what a difference! I find the best way to get lots of small pieces of wool felt is on Etsy. Many sellers sell packs that are reasonable.

The wool felt I ordered from Etsy previously was really thick. I did not find it easy to work with and it still split on me for tiny details. It was 100% wool. Can you share your favorite shop?
The blend I just ordered came from Amazon because I had a gift card (from winning the spring challenge!), so I’m hoping this is better than my last experience…

The felt I use to make badges and dolls, etc. is a wool/rayon blend…thin but sturdy and pliable.
I have been purchasing from here and just love that you can pick and choose your colors. I usually get larger sheets but for beginners and starting out to gauge colors, the small size is handy.
This is where I got the pattern and felt to make the pizza food I made for @antbee!

Hm…that is the shop I purchased from last time.
I think the wool blend is key.

Yes—I have that as well but I use the thicker pieces for background only…I used it to make my mushroom needlebook…it is also fuzzier…it is nice to embroider on but layering is a bit thick…I think they have limited colors of 100% wool like that at Joann’s as well…I buy it to use as the backs of my embroidery hoops

Yes, the colors I got were also strange/off. I was disappointed, but I think it was just my own lack of knowledge/understanding. I’m excited to try again with the right material this time!

That’s where I get mine from! It’s Merino, I think. Love it! Works great for me. I have some 100% wool that is really soft and kind of falls apart. Not sure if all of it is like that, but the merino is what I used on my little critters too.

Haha. Everyone mentions her! That’s why I bought from her initially. Of course I went to the right shop but bought the wrong stuff!

I get wool felt from a local place. It’s expensive but I only use little pieces of it so it lasts forever. It is much nicer to work with than most craft felt but a few badges I’ve received have been made with acrylic felt and they look great. Did you know, you can even felt acrylic sheets, like with a felting needle? It works almost the same.

I did not know that! I’ve never tried felting with a needle, I’ve only done embroidery and applique type things with felt. I banned myself from trying any new crafts, but now you’ve given me another reason to bend on needle felting.
I’ve got a weird assortment of felt (various types) and felted wool scraps, and even though I use it for things, it does seem impossible to use it all up! I think my bag of felt has been with me through at least 2 husbands and 7 house moves, lol. Pretty sure I need to get some more colours though …

My felt came today! Thickness seems good. Maybe I should do a test badge… 
This is me, too. I claimed some in the STS one year…no clue fiber content…
