Step 1

Lightly draw your design onto your canvas board. Don't get too detailed. Larger shapes will be easier.

Step 2

Add some glue to the middle of a shape. Now, starting from the middle of the shape, lay yarn in the glue to cover the area with yarn. Work your way out in a consistent direction to ensure that you don’t work over any areas that are drying.
TIP: Use a craft stick to help push or hold down the yarn in the glue.

Step 3

Repeat this for the entire canvas area you wish to cover.
TIP: You don't have to cover the entire canvas. You can also use markers to fill in blank areas.
