How to make a mini felt board

Step 1. Cut a piece of felt to fit the board. Glue in place with a glue gun.

  • You can use more than one color to create separate sections for “land” and “sky” or “water”.

Step 2. Cut out small felt shapes that can be placed on the mini felt board to create scenes and designs.
