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.
