Tutorial: How to trace and cut designs from felt

Felt is an easy material to work with. It’s inexpensive and because it doesn’t fray, it makes for quick and easy craft projects. But the fuzzy surface does make it difficult to trace a design on to it, which can lead to your designs not looking like you want when you cut them out. Wool Felt by Benzie shows how to trace your patterns on to felt and then how to cut them out so you get smooth lines and an accurate design.
