Can you link the 12x12 felt that you use? Loving the videos. God bless ❤
Yes absolutely! Here is some that I usually use. If it is not available, i just searh for "Stiff felt sheets 12x12" on amazon and other brands will come up. I have tried out many and they all seem to be the same. Here is what I typically order:

Thanks so much for filming and sharing! Definitely helpful!
When you sell them, do you sell them exactly as is in the video or do you add another activity to the back of the page so it's double sided? Do you hide the edges of the fabric on the back side (if selling as one sided). I havent added fabric to cover any of my pages, just curious 😊
Thanks for the feedback! Good question, sorry this is too sped up in the video but the answer is yes, I sell just the Elmo page with no activity on the other side. Actually in the video at 4:32, I briefly flip the page to the other side and you can see the back is just a plain blue sheet of felt that I sewed on last.
So yes, once I finished the elmo face and attached the arms, I always sew a sheet of felt to the back to hide the fabric overlap and stitch marks on the back. I sew the bind piece between the front piece of felt and the back piece. I do this with every activity page I make.
A second sheet of felt sewn on the back also gives the whole page more stiffness and strength.
So for every page I sell individually, I use two sheets of 20cm x 20cm felt, plus the felt that I need to make the activity itself. Hope that helps clarify!
So creative! Do you find that you have to sew? Do you think I can just hot glue and it would work the same way?
Thank you! Yes Hot glue will hold very well on felt, you do not need to sew at all for these activities that I post on youtube. However, if you are wanting to add a fabric background like I did, hot glue will not necessarily stick to all typed of fabric. If you really want to add a fabric and not sew, use a flannel fabric. That is the best kind that will hold with hot glue. Here are a couple videos that might help that will show how to make the books with no sewing at all:
