Instructions

1. Make a 3 ½” circle paper stencil from the cardstock. Stencil each color listed above except for the Putty onto the muslin fabric. Allow each to dry.
    
2. Stencil the holiday icons onto each circle in Putty. Allow to dry.
    
3. Make a 4 1/8” circle template from the cardstock. Place the template over the stenciled icons and make a circle with the disappearing ink marker. Cut out the circle.
    
4. Make another 4 1/8” circle with the disappearing ink marker on plain muslin. Using the zigzag scissors, cut out this circle slightly larger then where the mark of the pen is.
    
5. Place a small amount of batting onto the plain circle. Place the painted circle on top and stitch together around the raw edges.
    
6. Cut a piece of twine and glue in between the circle.
