Instructions

Step 1: Cover the front of the cardboard with glue. Place a sheet of felt over the top leaving a gap of about 2 inches at the bottom for a second color. Lay a second color at the bottom of the cardboard. Smooth the felt over the cardboard with your fingers.

Step 2:  Turn the felt board over. Trim the corners of the felt and the length of the felt if necessary. Apply a strip of glue around the edge of the cardboard and fold the edges over, sticking them down as you go.
