we used the felt squares from this wreath craft and cut the squares even smaller.
for this craft the squares were about 1/2 inch by 1/2 inch.
we took two squares together and put a pin through them pushing them hard into the styrafoam ball.
at some point before you get too far make a loop with ribbon and push a pin in it….to hang it later.
then fill it in until it's full.
i made the squares really close together and pushed the pins in as far as i could to make it look like flowers.
annie's hands were smaller so she got tired quicker…..i like hers the way it is too.
talby's was filled in but the pins not pushed in as far as the top one.
i like this version too.
there is no wrong way to make art.

Kimberlee J. - Do you remember me telling you that my art teacher was judgmental and maybe that’s why I hyperventilate when I have to “craft” something???? I so smiled and felt validated when I read the last line of your post. Thank YOU. 🙂
