1. Using your Ellison SuperStar Machine, die cut a variety of colors of 9″ x 12” craft cuts of Kunin Classicfelt™ with your Sizzix Bigz Die – Owl #5 (Item # 660785) die.
2. Using any type of adhesive, overlap various colors of felt to your desired look. I provided my students with a variety of colors to choose from.
