Then trace the rainbow shapes onto colored craft felt with a permanent marker.  Cut out with scissors, inside the lines, so you have a clean finished project.

2. Glue Rainbow Felt Shapes together to form a rainbow.

Layer the shapes from the rainbow template from largest to smallest. Use your glue gun to glue the pieces together.

3. Cut pink circles out of felt for smiley face.

Cut small circles for cheeks from the pastel pink felt.  Then hot glue them onto the rainbow felt crafts as shown.

4. Glue wiggly eyes and baker’s twine to form the face for your Kawaii Rainbow Felt Crafts.

Use your glue gun to attach the wiggle eyes to the top center of the rainbow crafts, placing them right next to each other. Then glue baker’s twine from cheek to cheek to create a smile for your cute felt rainbow.

5. Attach magnets, pin back, or string to the back of your felt rainbows.

Flip Rainbows over and attach a pin back, magnet or Baker’s twine hanger to the back of each with the glue gun and glue sticks.

And you’re done! Aren’t these easy felt crafts so cute?!

You could add a name and use these as super cute place cards for a rainbow themed birthday party, or hang them on a rainbow Christmas tree. These cute felt rainbows would even look cute just sitting on top of your daughter’s dresser.
