Jess really enjoyed making this and we love the finished bag but it was not without it's problems. Whilst PVA glue works well when sticking felt to paper it does not bond two pieces of felt together. In fact, we used tacky glue but this still didn't hold. I couldn't find my fabric glue (which I still don't think would have worked anyway) and anything else would not be appropriate for a 3 year old to use. In the end I let her glue everything and then sneaked it all up to my craft room to secure it all on my sewing machine. This did also mean undoing all of the original stitching too but we live and learn - felt bags need sewing! Here's the finished item...
