Equipment

  • Scissors

Ingredients

  • Heavy Duty Aluminum Foil
  • Cardboard
  • Glue (clear or white)
  • Yarn
  • Sharpie Fine Point Permanent Markers

Instructions

  • Cut cardboard to desired size.
  • Draw a design on the cardboard.
  • Apply a bead of glue over the design and place cut pieces of yarn over the glue. Work on one section of the design at a time. Allow to fully dry.
  • Crumple a sheet of heavy duty aluminum foil. Carefully open it up.
  • Lightly cover the surface of the cardboard with glue.
  • Press the foil (shiny side up) over the top of the cardboard and design, molding around the yarn. Bend the extra foil to the back of the cardboard.
  • Use permanent colored markers to draw between the yarns, like a coloring book. Leave the bumps of yarn uncolored. So pretty!!
