Acrylic Felt Fabric 72in Wide, 1.6mm Thick - 5 Yard Antique Gold

In this review the FabricLA acrylic felt by the yard is examined for crafters, DIYers, and small upholstery projects; the single biggest reason to buy is the combination of a wide 72in cutting width and a soft, non-stiff 1.6mm thickness that makes large pieces easy to work with. The reviewer found the material composed of 100% acrylic fibers to be forgiving when cutting and gluing, and the pre-cut 5 yard length in Antique Gold is especially handy for seasonal decor or table conversions without needing to seam multiple narrow strips.

Key Features

• SOLD BY INDIVIDUAL UNITS: Each quantity ships as a separate continuous piece, so ordered yardage arrives in distinct lengths ideal for multiple projects.
• Soft acrylic construction: The 100% acrylic fiber composition creates a soft, durable surface that resists unraveling and is easy to cut and glue.
• Large width: At 72in wide, the felt covers tabletops and large craft surfaces without seams, reducing joins for cleaner results.
• Useful thickness: The 1.6mm thickness and 160 gms/sq. yd. weight provide structure for costume pieces, padding, and game tables while remaining flexible.
• Versatile applications: Works for crafts, home decor, temporary poker or puzzle tables, and simple upholstery projects thanks to its texture and thickness.

Who It's For

This felt is well suited to hobbyists and small-business makers who need wide, continuous fabric for large projects like table covers, backdrops, or costume panels; the 72in width eliminates many seams. It also fits crafters who value a soft, easy-to-manipulate acrylic felt for flowers, garlands, and padded decorations.

It is less appropriate for heavy-duty commercial upholstery where thicker industrial textiles or woven upholstery fabrics are required, and users seeking natural fiber felt should look elsewhere since this is 100% acrylic.
