Instructions
1. Cut lime and turquoise felt. Layer and sew lime and turquoise felt horizontally. Sew on three sides to create pocket.
2. The front section can be cut slightly shorter on one side so back color shows.
3. Sew a ¼” seam then trim to a scant 1/8”
4. Cut out dip in top layer if desired when finished.

5. Pin patterns, cut out then glue letters into place. White chalk can be used to draw patterns onto felt if needed. Brush off excess chalk after glue is thoroughly dry.
6. Test flow of 3D Fashion Paint on paper towel using an even pressure on bottle for a smooth line. Detail with Pink, Lectric Lime and Orange paint. Keep tip of paint bottle wiped with paper towels for clean lines.
7. Let dry.
