Are you looking for a quick and easy way to add some color and texture to your walls? Attaching felt to the wall is a simple DIY project that can make a big impact. In this step-by-step guide, we will walk you through the process of attaching felt to your walls, giving you a beautiful and cost-effective way to transform any room. Let’s get started!

What You’ll Need

  • Felt fabric sheets
  • Measuring tape
  • Straight pins
  • Heavy-duty adhesive
  • Scissors
  • Paintbrush
  • Optional: Mounting hardware (command strips or adhesive hooks)

Step 1: Measure and Cut Felt Sheets

Start by measuring the height and width of the wall area you want to cover with felt. Use these measurements to determine how many felt sheets you’ll need. Next, cut the felt fabric into panels of the appropriate size, leaving a few extra inches on each side to ensure a snug fit.

Step 2: Prepare the Wall

Clean the wall surface thoroughly to remove any dirt or dust that may prevent the adhesive from sticking properly. If the wall has any imperfections or holes, consider patching them up for a smooth application of the felt.

Step 3: Position and Pin the Felt

Place one of the felt panels on the wall, starting from the top corner. Adjust it until it’s straight and aligned with the edges of the wall. Use straight pins to temporarily secure the felt in place while you work on attaching it more permanently.

Step 4: Apply Adhesive

Using a paintbrush, apply a thin and even layer of heavy-duty adhesive to the back of the felt, ensuring complete coverage but without clumps or excess adhesive. Start from one edge and work your way to the other, avoiding any air bubbles. Take your time with this step to ensure a secure bond.

Step 5: Attach the Felt

Press the felt firmly against the wall, starting from the top and gently smoothing it down to remove any wrinkles or bubbles. Work your way down the panel, ensuring it adheres well to the wall’s surface. Repeat this process for each remaining felt panel, overlapping the edges slightly to create a seamless look.

Step 6: Trim and Finalize

Once you have attached all the felt panels, allow the adhesive to dry completely according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Once dry, carefully trim any excess felt from the edges using scissors for a neat and clean finish.

Optional Step: Mounting Hardware

If desired, you can further enhance the installation by adding mounting hardware. Consider using command strips or adhesive hooks to secure the felt panels in place, especially if you plan to frequently change the layout or remove the panels in the future.

Now that you know how to attach felt to your walls, you can confidently add a touch of color and texture to any room in your home. Enjoy the process, get creative, and see how this simple DIY project can transform your living space!
