Cut the felt to 13.5 x 13.5 cm squares. Cut the fusible interfacing
to 12x12 cm squares

Apply fusible interfacing on to the felt glue side down

Creative team “Rainbow Elephant”

Put a thin clothes or a piece of muslin cloth over the interfacing and
iron on. Do not glide the iron, instead press it on to the interfacing
for at least 8-12 seconds each time you move it. You need to make
sure the glue melts and goes right through the fibres of felt. Make
sure there are no air bubbles or spots with no glue left.

Let the page sit for 10-15 minutes to cool down completely.
