If you’ve made felt quiet book pages before, you may have noticed that they aren’t as stiff as you would expect. Well, I have a solution for you. This is super easy and will make your quiet books stiff. In addition to the method I will explain below, it is also helpful to get the stiffest felt you can find. There’s some felt that is really thick and some that is more flimsy. Aim for the sturdy stuff.
Materials to make your quiet book stiff
the stiffest iron on interfacing you can find
two quiet book pages
Embroidery floss
Directions
Start by cutting your interfacing down to slightly smaller than your quiet book pages. Iron your interfacing to the back of one of your pages. Use a press cloth.
Pin the non interfaced page to the interfaced page, wrong sides together.
Thread a needle with your embroidery floss and tie a knot on one end. You will be sewing with one full strand of embroidery floss.
Pull your thread through one page so the knot is on the inside of the pages.
Sew a ladder stitch all the way around your quiet book pages. You’ve made your quiet books stiff!
