This summer`s sweetest game!
We all remember the wonderful moments from our childhood when we played games with family and friends. Those opportunities of togetherness are nowadays sadly disappearing more and more in our busy and noisy world. Let`s try and claim back some of that happiness and make a lovely game which will create lasting memories!

  • How to make a toy. Memories Are Made Of These! - Step 1
    Step 1

    You will need to cut out two squares of felt for each “game piece”, measuring 7cm by 7cm-use the pinking shears. Make as many pairs as you would like game pieces. To add an extra thrill to the game, the matching pair has different colours!

    Step 2

    Draw a 4.5cm square on the sheet of paper, cut it out and place in the centre of one of the felt pieces. Draw a small dot in each corner and cut out the inner square so that we create a “frame piece”.

    Cut out squares of iron-on interfacing and switch the iron on again. Turn the decorated patch over and fuse the iron-on interfacing to it-shiny side down-don`t skip this step or the cotton will puff out of the frame later when it`s been sewed on and that is not very pretty.
