Materials Needed
**This ornament is basically a "alphabet soup" type of ornament, so it's difficult to write down an actual list of EVERYTHING you'll need because the idea is to use up YOUR bits and pieces. I will list the basic items needed, however, you must watch the video to understand how this very easy process works.**

*Large Glue-On Bail (26mm in height)

Gloria's Recipe For Stiff White Felt (For the people in the U.K., Australia and other countries.)
1. Mix 3 dessert spoons of Mod Podge OR PVA glue and 1 dessert spoon of water. This should be enough to do the half and A4 size pieces of felt. DO NOT do this with the large 1 meter sheets or it won't turn out right. It's much better to use the small pieces of felt.
2. Soak the white felt in the mixture. When you take the felt out, you will see some blobs of glue on it, but just rub it into the felt with your fingers. Don't scrunch up the felt to get the water out because it will leave lines in the felt! Instead, roll the felt into a tube shape and run it through your fingers to squeeze out the excess.
3. Hang up the felt just like you would hang up photos for drying, so there won't be any lines. Drying time will take 24 hours. If you live in a humid climate, it may take longer.
