*Blue Chacopy gives the best contrast
*Optional: Use the Water Erasable Marker to trace over the lines marked by the tracing paper and make them more prominent.
2. Place dish sponge inside the canvas pouch. Dish sponge serves as a buffer when needle felting onto the canvas pouch
3. Using your Pen Style Needle Felting Tool with the single needle feature place the corresponding color of wool roving in its designated location and begin felting carefully between the lines
4. When felting is done use Gold Eye Chenille Needles to hand embroider.
