We translate the image without carbon paper and other special materials.

This method is suitable for transferring to felt lines of a pattern that will be covered by embroidery during operation, since this is not a fading marker, but a regular one. The key to success is a fresh, new marker, which has not dried out yet and writes well. The second point is to take a fairly thick paper so that it does not get wet from the marker. Instead of paper, you can use a piece of non-thick, but strong plastic that holds its shape well. For example, in the same pack the same felt that is sold in sheets.

DIY felt toys: 6 ideas with workshops


Step 1

Draw a sketch on paper. If you print a drawing on office paper, then transfer it to a thick one.

Step 2

Fold the fabric in half or four, place a sketch under the sheet of paper and push the holes with an awl along the outline of the pattern. Too often you do not need to make holes; just outline the outline.

Step 3

Put the sketch paper on the felt and secure with pins.

Marker points where holes are made with a marker. Hold the marker longer on each hole so that the paint reaches the felt.

Step 3

Remove the paper. On the felt there will remain dots indicating the outline of the pattern.

Now you can circle the outline with a thinner felt-tip pen and embroider.
