This craft combines sewing and needle felting techniques. We’ll make a hamburger and create a tiny Hello Kitty character to hold it. Follow these steps one at a time!

Phase 1: Create the Hamburger Buns

Materials Needed:

  • Light brown felt (for the buns)
  • Cardboard or index card
  • Pencil
  • Scissors
  • Needle and thread
  • Cotton stuffing (top bun)

Step-by-Step Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Cardboard Circles:
    • Find a circular object around 2 inches in diameter (like a lid) and trace two circles onto a piece of thick cardboard or index card.
    • Cut out the circles; these will be the base of your buns.
      Save
  2. Create a Felt Pattern:
    • Trace larger circles onto light brown felt that are approximately ½ inch wider than the cardboard circles. Cut out two felt circles for the top and bottom buns.
      Save
  3. Sew the Felt:
    • Using a needle and thread, sew around the perimeter of each felt circle with a basic running stitch. Leave enough space at the edge so you can pull the thread later.
    • For the bottom bun, place a cardboard circle in the center of the felt, pull the thread tight to wrap the felt around the cardboard, and knot the thread securely.
  4. Stuff the Top Bun:
    • Place a small amount of cotton stuffing on one felt circle and then layer the cardboard circle on top.
    • Pull the thread carefully to tighten the felt around the cardboard and the stuffing, creating a domed, fluffy top bun. Knot the thread securely to hold it all together.

Phase 2: Make the Hamburger Ingredients

Materials Needed:

  • Green felt (for lettuce)
  • Red felt (for tomato slices)
  • Yellow felt (for cheese)
  • Needle and thread (optional)
  • Brown wool (for burger patty)
  • Felting needle
  • Sponge or foam board

Step-by-Step Instructions:

  1. Create Lettuce:
    • Cut a green felt circle in the same size as your hamburger bun. Stretch the edges of the felt by gently pulling them apart with your fingers to create a ruffled effect.
  2. Make Cheese and Tomato:
    • Cut the yellow felt into a square (to resemble melted cheese).
    • Cut the red felt into a circle (to simulate a slice of tomato).
  3. Needle Felt the Burger Patty:
    • Take brown wool (about the size of your bun) and needle felt it into a flat, round shape. Use the felting needle to press the wool down repeatedly into the sponge or foam board until it holds its shape.
    • Continue poking until the patty looks smooth and firm.
      Save

Phase 3: Assemble the Hamburger

Materials Needed:

  • Hot glue gun and glue sticks

Step-by-Step Instructions:

  1. Layer the Ingredients:
    • Start stacking: Place the burger patty on the bottom bun, then add the cheese so it looks like it’s melting over the edge.
    • Next, add the lettuce and tomato slices. Finish by placing the top bun on top.
      Save
  2. Secure the Hamburger:
    • Use a hot glue gun to glue each layer to keep the hamburger intact. Let the glue dry completely.
  3. Add Sesame Seeds (Optional):
    • Roll tiny teardrop shapes out of polymer clay (white or beige color) to look like sesame seeds.
    • Bake the clay shapes in the oven according to package instructions (typically 250°F for 15–20 minutes).
    • Hot glue the sesame seeds onto the top bun.

Phase 4: Make Hello Kitty’s Head

Materials Needed:

  • White wool (for her head)
  • Pink wool (for blush)
  • Yellow wool (for her nose)
  • Black wool (for eyes and whiskers)
  • Red wool (for her bow)
  • Felting needle

Step-by-Step Instructions:

  1. Shape Hello Kitty's Head:
    • Roll the white wool into an oval ball and use the felting needle to shape it. Poke repeatedly until the wool becomes firm and smooth.
  2. Make the Ears:
    • Felt two small white triangles for Hello Kitty’s ears and attach them to the top of her head by poking them into place with the felting needle.
  3. Create a Bow:
    • Felt two red triangles and a small red circle. Place the triangles side by side, and needle felt the red circle in the center to create Hello Kitty’s signature bow. Attach the bow to her head.
  4. Add Facial Features:
    • Needle felt a small yellow ball for her nose in the middle of her face.
    • Roll black wool into tiny balls and felt them onto her face for her eyes.
    • Roll thin strands of black wool to form whiskers. Carefully attach them with the felting needle.
  5. Add Blush:
    • Felt small patches of pink wool beneath her eyes for her rosy cheeks.

  • Pink wool (for her shirt)
  • White wool (for hands)

Step-by-Step Instructions:

  1. Felt the Body:
    • Felt a triangle shape using the red wool to create her overalls. Make sure the body is slightly smaller than her head.
  2. Make Hands and Feet:
    • Felt two small white balls for Hello Kitty’s feet and attach them to the bottom of the triangle body.
    • Create two small cylinders using pink and white wool to form her arms and hands. Attach these to her body.
  3. Add Details:
    • Felt pink accents onto the top of her neckline to create a visible shirt under the overalls.
    • Add small straps or details in red using wool for the overalls.

Step-by-Step Instructions:

  1. Attach Hello Kitty’s Head to Her Body:
    • Securely attach her head to the top of her body using a hot glue gun.

Final Step: Enjoy Your Adorable Craft!

Take a moment to admire your work! You now have your own Hello Kitty Hugging Hamburger creation, perfect as a gift or decoration.

Tips for Beginners:

  • Work slowly and carefully, especially with the needle felting part, as the needle is sharp.
  • If felting feels hard, experiment with shaping small test pieces of wool until you get comfortable.
  • Don’t be afraid to customize! Add accessories like bacon, mustard, or even different outfits for Hello Kitty.
