Tip: Use Claw & Mat Cleaner to hold your project in place or to make new colors. Simply comb both colors of wool roving with the rake and a new color will form.
Step 3: Select colors or use colors shown on pattern. Remove two needles from Pen Style Needle Felting Tool and only use one to do detailed work on this pattern.
Needle felt staying within the patterned line. Do this for the entire project.
Step 4: Use either a hand sewing needle or Embroidery Stitching Tool to make a basic stitch on the stem in the pattern using embroidery floss.
Finish by framing and displaying your art.
Since design is an 8.5″ square and frame was a 12″ square, scrapbook paper was used to fill in the gap between the design and edge of the frame. Also gives the final product a finished look.
Some alternatives are using a larger piece of canvas, measuring the size of the frame or a smaller frame.
